Pod

Infra & Ops På svenska → Updated: 2026-05-23

The smallest unit in Kubernetes — one or more containers that share network and storage.

Usually one container per pod; multiple only for "sidecars" (loggers, proxies). Pods are "short-lived" — k8s kills and recreates them freely; their IP addresses change.
