Kubernetes is an open-source framework for automating deploying &
scaling application that are containerized. The framework was built
based on Google’s experience of running billions of containers for over
a decade. Kubernetes solves following problems among others
- Running containers at scale by matching available resources to needs
of containers. Instead of managing individual machines you look at
the cluster of machines as one large machine and orchestration is
taken care for you.
- Built in service discovery and load balancing so that you don’t have
to worry about maintaining information and linkages between various
components
- Rolling deploys and rollbacks with a customizable strategy for
canary releases as well as rolling deploys.
- Ability to manage configurations and secrets related to applications
effectively.
- Orchestrating storage dynamically from underlying block storage
provider of your private or public cloud.
