What is a Custom Resource Definition (CRD) in Kubernetes?

Accepted Answer

A Custom Resource Definition (CRD) extends the Kubernetes API, allowing users to create custom objects. This is achieved by defining new resource types, which are then managed like native Kubernetes objects. The correct answer is right because it accurately describes this extension mechanism. Other options are incorrect because they misrepresent the purpose of a CRD.
