Container as a service is a cloud-based service that allows companies to manage and deploy containers at scale. Container environments enable enterprises to quickly deploy and develop cloud-native applications that can run anywhere. This, in turn, drove the creation of cloud-based services that further automated this function.

VMware commercialized the idea of virtual machines, and cloud providers embraced the same concept with services like Amazon EC2, Google Compute, and Azure virtual machines. Serverless computing is a cloud-based, on-demand execution model where customers consume resources solely based on their application usage.

Nodes can go away for any reason, especially in “the cloud”. When this happens, usually a k8s cloud-controller provided by the cloud vendor will detect that the actual server, in our case an EC2 Instance, has actually gone away, and will in turn delete the k8s node object.
