The four basic objects

There are four basic Kubernetes Objects:

Pod: A group of closely-related containers that should be managed as a single unit
Service: An abstraction that proxies requests from a static IP to the dynamic, virtual IPs of one of the Pods running the application
Volume: This provides shared storage for all containers inside the same Pod
Namespace: This allows you to separate a single physical cluster into multiple virtual clusters
