Kubernetes

About

Kubernetes is an open-source software platform designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It provides a robust framework for running distributed systems resiliently, ensuring high availability and reliability. Kubernetes supports various deployment strategies, including canary deployments, and offers features like service discovery, load balancing, and storage orchestration. It is highly extensible, allowing users to add custom functionalities without altering the core code. Kubernetes operates across diverse environments, including on-premises, hybrid, and public cloud infrastructures. It efficiently manages resources, ensuring optimal utilization and cost savings. Key features include automated rollouts and rollbacks, self-healing capabilities, and support for batch execution and CI/CD pipelines. Kubernetes complements container technologies like Docker, enhancing their capabilities by managing container lifecycles and scaling. Its flexibility and portability make it a versatile tool for modern application development and deployment.
