Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open-source platform designed to manage and automate the deployment, scaling, and operation of application containers, which are lightweight, portable units of software. It allows developers to efficiently run applications across a cluster of computers, ensuring they are available and can handle varying workloads. By managing resource allocation, load balancing, and self-healing (restarting failed applications), Kubernetes simplifies the complexities of managing containerized applications, making them more resilient and easier to scale up or down as needed. Essentially, it helps teams deliver software faster and more reliably.
