Answer
A Node is a machine running Pods; it contains kubelet, kube-proxy, and container runtime.
Quick Answer
A Node is a physical or virtual machine in the cluster where Pods actually run. Each node runs kubelet (agent), kube-proxy (network), and a container runtime (containerd). Nodes provide the compute resources (CPU, memory, storage) that Pods consume. The control plane schedules Pods to nodes based on available capacity and constraints.
