Definition

kube-proxy is a network component in Kubernetes that runs on each node and is responsible for maintaining network rules on nodes. It facilitates communication between services and pods by implementing a form of virtual IP for services. kube-proxy can operate in various modes, such as userspace, iptables, or IPVS, to manage traffic routing efficiently.
