Kubernetes

Kubernetes, often abbreviated as K8s, is a powerful open-source platform designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Originally developed by Google, it is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Kubernetes provides a robust framework to run distributed systems resiliently, allowing for automated rollouts and rollbacks, scaling containerized applications, and efficient resource management. With Kubernetes, you can deploy applications consistently and quickly, regardless of the complexity of the infrastructure. It supports a wide range of workloads, from traditional stateful applications to modern microservices architectures. Kubernetes’ extensible nature and vibrant ecosystem make it a preferred choice for managing containerized applications in production environments.
