Kubernetes

Kubernetes (also known as K8s) is an open-source container orchestration platform designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It was originally developed by Google, and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

Kubernetes provides a way to manage containerized applications across a cluster of servers, abstracting away the underlying infrastructure and providing a uniform way to deploy and manage applications. With Kubernetes, you can:

• Deploy containerized applications: Kubernetes provides a way to deploy containerized applications across a cluster of servers, ensuring that they are always available and can scale up or down as needed.

• Manage containerized applications: Kubernetes provides a way to manage containerized applications, including scaling them up or down, rolling out updates, and handling failures.

• Automate application deployment and management: Kubernetes provides a way to automate the deployment and management of applications, so that developers can focus on writing code instead of worrying about the infrastructure.

• Integrate with other tools: Kubernetes is designed to work with a wide range of tools, such as container runtimes (e.g., Docker), networking and storage providers, and monitoring and logging tools.

Kubernetes is widely used in modern software development and deployment, particularly for cloud-native applications that are designed to run in containers. Learning Kubernetes can be beneficial for developers, DevOps engineers, and anyone involved in the deployment and management of containerized applications.
