Try this analogy of using a rental house to explain how it works. I created a simple analogy about renting out rooms in a house to help you learn how Kubernetes works.

Because it’s simpler for you, you decide to hire a rental agent to take care of these things.

Your responsibilities are mostly over, although you can use a phone to contact the agent to check in from time to time.

The contract between you (the house owner) and the agent is equivalent to a deployment in Kubernetes.
