Information
Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management
of containerized applications. Kubernetes abstracts the underlying infrastructure, making it easier to deploy and manage
container workloads while ensuring high availability, scalability, and resilience.
Key Features and Benefits:
Container Orchestration:
Kubernetes simplifies the deployment and management of containerized applications by handling
tasks such as scaling, load balancing, and self-healing.
Declarative Configuration:
Kubernetes uses declarative YAML files to define the desired state of the application, abstracting
the complexity of managing containers.
Auto-Scaling:
Kubernetes can automatically scale applications up or down based on resource usage, ensuring optimal
performance and cost-efficiency.
Service Discovery and Load Balancing: offers built-in service discovery and load balancing, making it easy to
expose and route traffic to containerized services.
Rolling Updates and Rollbacks: Kubernetes facilitates rolling updates and rollbacks for applications, ensuring minimal
downtime during updates and seamless fallback in case of issues.
Resource Management: Kubernetes allows resource limits and requests to be defined, preventing applications from
consuming more resources than allocated.
Self-Healing: automatically replaces failed containers and nodes, ensuring high availability and application
resilience.
Storage Orchestration: Kubernetes supports various storage solutions, allowing applications to use the right storage options,
from local storage to cloud-based solutions.
