Introduction to Kubernetes

Kubernetes, often abbreviated as "K8s", is a popular open-source container orchestration platform that was originally developed by Google and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

Kubernetes automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications and services, providing a powerful toolset for managing large-scale container environments. It is designed to work with a variety of container technologies, including Docker, rkt, and others.

Kubernetes provides a number of key features, including automated deployment and scaling of containerized applications, automatic failover and self-healing capabilities, centralized management and monitoring of containerized environments, and support for hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

With Kubernetes, developers can focus on writing code without worrying about the underlying infrastructure, while operators can easily manage and scale containerized applications and services with a high degree of automation and flexibility.
