Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open-source container-orchestration system for automating computer application deployment, scaling, and management.

• A container is, in simple terms, means a virtual machine without its own Operating system.
• A container orchestrator tells the containers to where they should stay and how they should behave.
• In the usual production environment, there are hundreds and thousands of containers dedicated to various microservices.
• Manage multiple containers is not a simple task. They need updates, version control, health checks, scaling and many more functionalities to be performed on them.
• Very platform-agnostic.
• Not tied with any other specific company or platform like Docker.
