Kubernetes clusters and tenants use the same Controller host (and Shadow Controller/Arbiter, if platform High Availability has been enabled; see High Availability.
A Controller host must meet the requirements described in Host Requirements, Operating System Requirements, and Configuration Requirements.
The Controller host:

- Manages the Kubernetes hosts
- Manages the Embedded Data Fabric, if present.
- Manages DataTaps, FS Mounts, etc.
