Introduction

Kubernetes, which is the culmination of cloud technology, is a combination of numerous layers and products, and it is extremely difficult to get a firm grasp of the big picture. So, in this post , I would like to introduce Kubenetes-related OSS products and services in a concise and easy-to-understand manner. Kubernetes, which is open source, has various distributions as well as Linux. So, first of all, I would like to introduce the distribution of the entire Kubernetes package. I hope it will be a resource that allows you to compare and examine the Kubernetes distribution of each company.

Compare Layer Component

As mentioned above, kubernetes is composed of several layer components, but when comparing each distribution, I would like to mainly compare the following layer components.

CRI (Container Runtime Interface)

The container runtime that is supported or included by default.

Control plane storage

KVS or DB service that stores and synchronizes the cluster settings themselves

CNI (Container Networking Interface)

A container communication interface that is supported or included by default.
