Kubernetes
A container orchestration platform for scheduling, scaling, and operating workloads across clusters.
Overview
Kubernetes schedules containers across a cluster and keeps declared workloads running. It exposes a declarative API for deployments, services, storage, and configuration, with controllers reconciling actual state toward the desired state.
Where it fits
- Running containerized services at scale
- Rolling deployments and self-healing workloads
- Portable infrastructure across cloud and on-premises clusters
Key capabilities
- Declarative workload API
- Service discovery and load balancing
- Horizontal scaling and rollout control
- Role-based access control and namespaces
