Cloud providers or sometime called Cloud Service Provider (CSPs) provides cloud computing platforms. They may offer services such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) or Platform as a Service (PaaS). Cloud providers host the Kubernetes cluster and also provide services that interact with the cluster, such as Load Balancers, Storage Classes etc. | ||
Cloud providers, sometime called Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), provide | ||
cloud computing platforms. | ||
|
||
In connection with Kubernetes, your cloud provider might offer managed | ||
infrastructure (also called Infrastructure as a Service or IaaS). With | ||
managed infrastructure the cloud provider is responsible for servers, | ||
storage and networking whilst you manage layers on top of that such as | ||
running a Kubernetes cluster. | ||
|
||
You can also find Kubernetes as a service that is managed for you. Your | ||
cloud provider is responsible for the Kubernetes control plane as well | ||
as the Nodes and the infrastructure they rely on: networking, storage, | ||
and possibly other elements such as load balancers. | ||
When your cloud provider offers a managed Kubernetes service, that is | ||
sometimes called Platform as a Service, or PaaS. |
