short-description: |
The application that serves Kubernetes functionality through a RESTful interface and stores the state of the cluster.
long-description: >
Kubernetes resources and "records of intent" are all stored as API objects, and modified via RESTful calls to the API.
The API allows configuration to be managed in a declarative way.
Users can interact with the Kubernetes API directly, or via tools like `kubectl`.
The core Kubernetes API is flexible and can also be extended to support custom resources.
