| A Kubernetes cluster consists of two parts: the control plane and pools, which are made up of node Instances. The impact of the nodes is already calculated as part of the Instance impact calculation (/environmental-footprint/additional-content/instances-env-footprint/). The purpose of this page is to detail the calculation of the control plane's impact. | ||
