Kubernetes, often abbreviated as K8s, is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers into logical units for easy management and discovery, making it highly efficient for deploying and operating applications at scale.
Kubernetes provides a framework for running distributed systems resiliently, with features like load balancing, self-healing, automated rollouts, and rollbacks. It’s widely used in cloud environments to manage complex containerized applications, offering flexibility and scalability to meet varying demands.
