Kubernetes
Production-Grade Container Orchestration
Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers into logical units for easier management and runs on on-premises, hybrid, or public cloud infrastructure. Built on principles from Google's internal infrastructure, it is a CNCF graduated project supported by a broad community.
Kubernetes groups containers into logical units called Pods, then automates scheduling, scaling, self-healing, service discovery, and storage orchestration across any infrastructure.
