Kubernetes, often abbreviated as K8s, is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It was originally designed by Google and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Kubernetes provides a framework for running distributed systems resiliently, allowing for scaling applications up or down as needed, managing updates to applications with minimal downtime, and ensuring that resources are used efficiently.
Key Features of Kubernetes include:
1. Container Orchestration: Kubernetes manages the lifecycle of containers across a cluster of machines, handling tasks such as deploying applications, rolling out updates and changes, and scaling applications up or down based on demand.
2. Service Discovery and Load Balancing: Kubernetes can expose a container using the DNS name or an IP address. If traffic to a container is high, Kubernetes is able to load balance and distribute the network traffic so that the deployment is stable.
3. Storage Orchestration: Kubernetes allows you to automatically mount a storage system of your choice, such as local storage, public cloud providers, and more.
4. Automated rollouts and rollbacks: You can describe the desired state for your deployed containers using Kubernetes, and it can change the actual state to the desired state at a controlled rate. For example, you can automate Kubernetes to create new containers for your deployment, remove existing containers, and adopt all their resources to the new container.
5. Self-healing: Kubernetes restarts
