Cluster Capacity Planning

Process of estimating and allocating resources needed for container workloads in a cluster.

Cluster Federation

Mechanism for coordinating multiple Kubernetes clusters, enabling multi-cluster application deployment and management.

Cluster Mesh

Interconnected network of container clusters, enabling cross-cluster communication and resource sharing.

Cluster Networking

Network configuration and management within and between container clusters, enabling inter-container communication.

Cluster Upgrade Process

Procedure for updating the Kubernetes version and components of a cluster while minimizing disruptions.

Cluster-level Logging

Centralized logging solution capturing logs from all containers and nodes in a cluster, aiding in troubleshooting.

ClusterAutoscaler

Kubernetes component that automatically adjusts the number of nodes in a cluster based on resource utilization.

ClusterIP

Kubernetes service type that exposes the service on an internal IP within the cluster, facilitating internal communication.

ClusterIP Services

Kubernetes services accessible only within the cluster, used for internal communication between pods.

ClusterRole

Kubernetes RBAC resource defining permissions across an entire cluster, not limited to a single namespace.

ClusterRoleBinding

Kubernetes RBAC resource that binds a ClusterRole to users, groups, or service accounts across all namespaces.

ClusterServiceVersion (CSV)

Custom resource in Operator Lifecycle Manager describing a specific version of an Operator.

Codefresh GitOps

GitOps platform for managing and automating containerized application deployments, streamlining CD workflows.

Cold Start Optimization

Techniques to reduce initialization time of containers, particularly important in serverless environments.

Compensating Transaction Pattern

Design pattern for handling failures in distributed container-based systems by reversing or compensating actions.

ConfigMap

Kubernetes API object used to store non-confidential data in key-value pairs, accessible by pods.

Consul Connect

Service mesh feature of Consul providing secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption.

Container

Standardized unit of software that packages code and all its dependencies for quick, reliable deployment.

Container Breakout Techniques

Methods used by attackers to escape container isolation and access the host system, posing security risks.

Container Engine

Software responsible for managing container lifecycle, including creation, execution, and destruction.

Container Escape

Security vulnerability allowing a process to break out of container isolation and access the host system.

Container Escape Prevention

Security measures and best practices to prevent containers from breaking out of their isolation.

Container Escape Vulnerabilities

Weaknesses in container runtimes or configurations that could allow processes to escape isolation.

Container Health Checks

Mechanisms to verify the health and readiness of containerized applications, ensuring service availability.

Container Host

Physical or virtual machine running the container runtime and hosting containers, providing the execution environment.
