Object

A Kubernetes object is a component of the Kubernetes system that represents the current state of your cluster in the Kubernetes API. These objects are typically viewed as a "record of intent," as their creation signals to the Kubernetes control plane the desired state of a particular aspect of your workload. Once created, the Kubernetes control plane continually works to ensure that the object is accurately represented in the current state of the cluster. In essence, by defining a Kubernetes object, you are specifying the desired state of that particular component of your cluster's workload.
