- In worker’s node, container is encapsulated in pod
- Pod: is an instance of an application, smallest object in kubernetes
- If there’s an increasing in demands accessing the pod, another pod will be created (i.e: 2 instances of applications running on 2 seperate pods )
- Pod has a 1:1 relationship with container
Multi-Container PODs
- A single pod can have multiple containers (typically not the same kind)
- An example is “helper container”
- The 2 containers can also connect to each other by local host since they share the same network space

--image
