An entity in the Kubernetes system. The Kubernetes API uses these entities to represent the state
 | 
						|
of your cluster.

A Kubernetes object is typically a “record of intent”—once you create the object, the Kubernetes
 | 
						|
{{< glossary_tooltip text="control plane" term_id="control-plane" >}} works constantly to ensure
 | 
						|
that the item it represents actually exists.
 | 
						|
By creating an object, you're effectively telling the Kubernetes system what you want that part of
 | 
						|
your cluster's workload to look like; this is your cluster's desired state.
