About
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.
Problem
Deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications across diverse infrastructure is complex and operationally demanding.
For
DevOps engineers, platform engineers, and software developers running containerized workloads
How it works
Kubernetes groups containers into logical units called Pods, then automates scheduling, scaling, self-healing, service discovery, and storage orchestration across any infrastructure.
