# Glossary and Concept Index
|
|
|
|
**Authorization**
|
|
:Kubernetes does not currently have an authorization system. Anyone with the cluster password can do anything. We plan
|
|
to add sophisticated authorization, and to make it pluggable. See the [access control design doc](./devel/access.md) and
|
|
[this issue](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/issue/1430).
|
|
|
|
**Annotation**
|
|
: A key/value pair that can hold large (compared to a Label), and possibly not human-readable data. Intended to store
|
|
non-identifying metadata associated with an object, such as provenance information. Not indexed.
|
|
|
|
**Image**
|
|
: A [Docker Image](https://docs.docker.com/userguide/dockerimages/). See [images](./images.md).
|
|
|
|
**Label**
|
|
: A key/value pair conveying user-defined identifying attributes of an object, and used to form sets of related objects, such as
|
|
pods which are replicas in a load-balanced service. Not intended to hold large or non-human-readable data. See [labels](./labels.md).
|
|
|
|
**Name**
|
|
: A user-provided name for an object. See [identifiers](identifiers.md).
|
|
|
|
**Namespace**
|
|
: A namespace is like a prefix to the name of an object. You can configure your client to use a particular namespace,
|
|
so you do not have to type it all the time. Namespaces allow multiple projects to prevent naming collisions between unrelated teams.
|
|
|
|
**Pod**
|
|
: A collection of containers which will be scheduled onto the same node, which share and an IP and port space, and which
|
|
can be created/destroyed together. See [pods](./pods.md).
|
|
|
|
**Replication Controller**
|
|
: A _replication controller_ ensures that a specified number of pod "replicas" are running at any one time. Both allows
|
|
for easy scaling of replicated systems, and handles restarting of a Pod when the machine it is on reboots or otherwise fails.
|
|
|
|
**Resource**
|
|
: CPU, memory, and other things that a pod can request. See [resources](resources.md).
|
|
|
|
**Selector**
|
|
: An expression that matches Labels. Can identify related objects, such as pods which are replicas in a load-balanced
|
|
service. See [labels](labels.md).
|
|
|
|
**Service**
|
|
: A load-balanced set of `pods` which can be accessed via a single stable IP address. See [services](./services.md).
|
|
|
|
**UID**
|
|
: An identifier on all Kubernetes objects that is set by the Kubernetes API server. Can be used to distinguish between historical
|
|
occurrences of same-Name objects. See [identifiers](identifiers.md).
|
|
|
|
**Volume**
|
|
: A directory, possibly with some data in it, which is accessible to a Container as part of its filesystem. Kubernetes
|
|
Volumes build upon [Docker Volumes](https://docs.docker.com/userguide/dockervolumes/), adding provisioning of the Volume
|
|
directory and/or device. See [volumes](volumes.md).
