Zonal Cluster

Description: A zonal cluster is a type of Kubernetes cluster that is deployed in a single geographic zone within a region. This means that all the nodes that make up the cluster are located in the same zone, which can offer advantages in terms of latency and performance, as communication between nodes is faster when they are physically closer. However, this configuration also presents disadvantages, such as a lack of redundancy in the event of zone failures, which can affect the availability of deployed applications. Zonal clusters are ideal for workloads that do not require high availability or for development and testing environments where simplicity and cost are more important than resilience. In terms of management, zonal clusters are easier to set up and maintain, making them an attractive option for users looking for a quick and efficient solution for their container orchestration needs. As organizations adopt Kubernetes to manage their containerized applications, zonal clusters have become a popular choice for those seeking a balance between simplicity and performance in less critical environments.
