Question in the LAB : How many nodes are part of the cluster?

Kubernetes
#1

There is a question while doing the LAB : How many nodes are part of the cluster?
When I type the command kubectl get nodes it gives me a output as below but I am not clear how many nodes are a part of the cluster. Please clarify

controlplane ~ ➜ kubectl get nodes
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
controlplane Ready control-plane,master 9m2s v1.29.0+k3s1

#2

That’s a one node cluster, running some version of Rancher’s K3s distribution of Kubernetes.

Thanks for the update Rob so what i understood is that as per your comment is k3s1 so there is 1 node is a prat of the cluster.

Yes. There’s one node in the cluster.

This is what indicates that it’s a Rancher K3s version of kubernetes (as opposed to e.g. kubeadm).

Simplify the fact that only one result is listed for kubectl get nodes indicates that it is a one-node cluster and that node is controlplane as well as worker.
