Kubernetes: Unleashing the Power of Container Orchestration

Kubernetes: Unleashing the Power of Container Orchestration

Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source container orchestration system for automating containerized applications’ deployment, scaling, and management. Google designed it. It is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

Kubernetes provides a platform-agnostic way to manage containerized workloads and services, making running and scaling applications in various environments easier. It enables you to deploy and manage containerized applications at scale in a reliable and scalable manner.

Kubernetes is often used with Docker, an open-source containerization platform allowing you to package and deploy applications as self-contained units. Kubernetes provides the underlying infrastructure and automation required to manage and scale a fleet of containerized applications, while Docker offers a standard way to build and package the applications themselves.

When you have a working knowledge of Docker and want to take your container game to the next level. Time to take a look at Kubernetes.

In this video, you’ll learn about Kubernetes and some of the main benefits you can get from using it. We’ll talk about how Kubernetes makes deploying, scaling, and maintaining Docker containers (or just containers in general) more accessible in the wild and at scale.
