What Is Kubernetes
Kubernetes orchestrates containerized applications across clusters of machines. Originally developed by Google, it now runs on all major cloud platforms and on-premises infrastructure.
Key Concepts
Pods group containers that share resources. Deployments manage replica sets for scaling and updates. Services provide stable endpoints for pod communication. Ingress handles external traffic routing.
Why Use Kubernetes
Kubernetes automates deployment, scaling, and management of applications. It handles failures by restarting containers automatically. Rolling updates deploy changes without downtime.
Getting Started
Managed Kubernetes services like EKS, GKE, and AKS simplify cluster management. Start with tutorials on minikube for local development. Learn kubectl commands for cluster interaction.
