This reflects services as defined in the kubernetes api on each node and can do simple tcp, udp, and sctp stream forwarding or round robin tcp, udp, and sctp forwarding across a set of backends. By controlling network routing and load balancing, it guarantees effective communication between services and pods alike. It monitors the changes that happen to service objects and their endpoints Then it translates these changes into actual. It runs on each node in the cluster, providing a scalable and efficient way to manage network traffic. It ensures that network traffic reaches the correct pods, regardless of their location in the cluster.
It acts as a network proxy and load balancer, ensuring that requests to services are properly routed to the appropriate pods, even as the cluster evolves dynamically.
