Object
A Kubernetes object is a component of the Kubernetes system that represents the current state of your cluster in the Kubernetes API. These objects are typically viewed as a "record of intent," as their creation signals to the Kubernetes control plane the desired state of a particular aspect of your workload. Once created, the Kubernetes control plane continually works to ensure that the object is accurately represented in the current state of the cluster. In essence, by defining a Kubernetes object, you are specifying the desired state of that particular component of your cluster's workload.

Offloading
The principle of offloading is to route data streams via fixed-network infrastructures instead of via mobile communications facilities. The aim of this is to avoid bottlenecks in mobile data transmission by using higher bandwidths of fixed-network connections.

Open Source Software
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has defined criteria that must be met by software to be considered open source. This concept allows programs to be published together with their source code and to be viewed and modified by anyone.

Operational Expenditures
Operating expenses relate to the current costs incurred for functioning business operations. In contrast, capital expenditures are made for long-term fixed assets. OPEX therefore includes expenses such as raw materials, supplies, personnel, leasing and energy. These costs are recognized in full in the balance sheet.

Operator pattern
The Operator pattern is a design approach that connects one or more custom resources to a Controller. With Kubernetes, you can expand the built-in controllers by introducing new ones to your cluster. An instance of the Operator pattern is when a running application functions as a controller and has API access to perform actions against a custom resource that has been defined in the control plane. By doing so, the Operator pattern can automate complex, application-specific tasks within the Kubernetes environment.
