So there's a control plane managed by GKE, and then you have the user clusters with the nodes, which are the virtual machines. Then we have pods. This is the unit of deployment in Kubernetes, and then we have containers in these pods. And the nodes will have control plane agents or software running in them as well. That's what enables that orchestration, the communication between the nodes and a control plane. There are different ways of deploying a cluster. You have a single-zone cluster deployment, in which case the entire cluster control plane plus nodes will be in a single availability zone. You can also have a multi-zone or cluster, in which case, and this is very important to remember, the nodes not the control plane, will be spread across multiple availability zones. So the control plane here is not necessarily resilient against zone of failures, but…
