🔮 The Cloud Infrastructure Story

In the beginning, there is a Region in a Cloud Provider - a geographic area containing multiple data centers for redundancy and low latency.

Within that Region, there is an Availability Zone - an isolated location with independent power, cooling, and networking.

In that Availability Zone, there is a Data Center - a physical facility housing thousands of servers and networking equipment.

In that Data Center, there is a Server Rack - a standardized frame housing multiple servers in an organized manner.

In that Server Rack, there is a Private Network - secure networking infrastructure connecting all the physical components.

In that Private Network, there is a Physical Host - the actual server hardware with CPU, RAM, and storage.

In that Physical Host, there is a Virtual Machine - a software-based computer running on top of the physical hardware.

Those Virtual Machines form a Kubernetes cluster - an orchestration system for automating deployment and management of containerized applications.

In that Kubernetes cluster, there is a Node - a worker machine (VM) that runs your application workloads.

In that Node, there is a Deployment - a Kubernetes object that manages the deployment and scaling of your application.

In that Deployment, there is a ReplicaSet - ensures a specified number of pod replicas are running at any given time.

In that ReplicaSet, there is a Pod - the smallest deployable unit in Kubernetes, containing one or more containers.

In that Pod, there is a Container - a lightweight, portable, and self-sufficient package containing your application and its dependencies.

In that Container, there is a process executing your application code...
