Kubernetes at a glance

What is Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform used to manage containerized applications at scale. Kubernetes clusters together groups of hosts running containers, and helps you easily and efficiently manage those clusters.

How it works

Kubernetes automates many of the manual processes involved in deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications. It does this by providing a clean separation between components and services and automating container configurations by managing the scheduling, service discovery and load balancing and resource management.


Kubernetes allows organizations to fully implement and rely on a container-based infrastructure in production environments because it delivers application scalability and portability, deployment consistency, and resource optimization.
