k8s pod ??

A pod is the smallest object model that you can create and run. You can add labels to a pod to identify a subset to run operations on. When you are ready to scale your app, you can use the label to tell Kubernetes which Pod you need to scale. 

A pod typically represents a process in your cluster. Pods contain at least one container that runs the job and additionally might have other containers in it called sidecars for monitoring, logging, and so on. Essentially, a pod is a group of containers.
