Kube-proxy

Kube-proxy is a component of Kubernetes, a system for managing containerized applications. Its main job is to manage network traffic to these applications. It acts like a traffic director, ensuring that requests from users are sent to the right containers, which are the actual running applications. Kube-proxy maintains a set of rules to handle incoming requests, balancing the load and providing high availability. This helps applications run smoothly, ensuring they can handle many users and requests without interruption, much like how a good traffic system keeps vehicles moving efficiently.
