Like any Kubernetes cluster, Nexus Kubernetes cluster has two components:

* Control plane: provides core Kubernetes services and manages the life cycle of application workloads.

* Nodes: To run your applications and supporting services, you need a Kubernetes node. It provides the container runtime environment.

* On the other hand, to support applications that have different compute or storage demands, you can create user node pools, also known as Nexus Agent pool. Each VM in a Nexus Agent pool adheres to a uniform configuration, such as CPU, memory, disk and so on. Once an Agent pool is established, the number of VMs within it remains fixed. To scale the capacity of a Nexus Kubernetes cluster, more Agent pools can be created and integrated into the existing cluster. In other words, the Nexus Agent pool supports horizontal scaling by allowing the addition or removal of Agent pools within the Nexus Kubernetes cluster.

Features are installed once and can only be updated or upgraded when the customer upgrades the Nexus Kubernetes cluster. It enables customers to apply critical production hotfixes without interference from the underlying infrastructure operations, which could otherwise overwrite their cluster modifications.

## Nexus Available Zones

Nexus has introduced a concept of Availability Zone. It's delineated at a Rack level and allows customers to spread their workloads across the instance to achieve better availability. For a Nexus instance with eight racks, customers get eight Availability zones.

Each Zone comprises a pair of management servers with redundancy and a collection of compute servers that function as a resource pool.

During multi-rack deployments in Nexus and when performing runtime bundle upgrades, Availability zones provide the added benefit of acting as an upgrade domain. This ensures that, at most, only the servers within a single rack are taken offline for these upgrades.
