Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It allows for efficient resource utilization, high availability, and simplified operations across multiple environments.
About Kubernetes
Kubernetes was created in 2014 by Google to manage its containerized applications at scale. It was later open-sourced and donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). The platform aimed to provide a robust system for automating the deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across clusters of hosts.
Kubernetes' strengths included scalability, flexibility, and a strong open-source community. Its weaknesses involved complexity and a steep learning curve. Competitors included Docker Swarm, Apache Mesos, and Red Hat OpenShift.
