Kubernetes

Overview

A container orchestrator that makes sure that each container is where it’s supposed to be and that the containers can communicate
k8s —> acronym for the 8 letters between the k and the s in kubernetes
When working with Kubernetes, you could also be working with Docker for containers
Kubernetes manages running multiple containers on a single machine
Kubectl is the Kubernetes CLI
Kubernetes configuration is done using .yaml files
Kubernetes provides you with the following out of the box:
- Service discovery and load balancing
- Storage orchestration
- Automated rollouts and rollbacks
- Automatic bin packing: fitting containers onto your nodes to make the best use of resources
- Self healing: You provide a health-check endpoint, Kubernetes checks it and replaces containers that don’t respond to it as expected
- Secret configuration and management: Lets you deploy and update secrets and app configuration without rebuilding your container images
