The drawing

What a Kubernetes architecture diagram is.

A Kubernetes architecture diagram shows the control plane, the worker nodes, and the paths that connect cluster services to workloads. It can also show ingress, services, pods, namespaces, storage, and supporting systems such as monitoring.

Use it to distinguish the cluster components that manage desired state from the components that receive traffic and run an application. Clear labels make the deployment and its dependencies easier to review.
