Kubernetes Overview

Kubernetes (commonly stylized as k8s) is an open-source container-orchestration system for automating application deployment, scaling, and management. It is maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and is considered the de facto standard for container-orchestration application systems. Kubernetes works with a range of container tools, including Docker, to streamline the management of containerized applications.

Key Features​

  • Automated Deployment: Simplifies the deployment of containerized applications.
  • Scaling: Automatically scales applications based on demand.
  • Management: Provides robust tools for managing containerized applications.
  • Open Source: Maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
  • Compatibility: Works with various container tools, including Docker.
