Kubernetes

[izzabizz5]

Kubernetes is an open-source software that helps to containerize applications. It makes it easier to manage if a company uses a ton of applications, you can run them in containers.

• It also takes cares of deploying a new container in case one goes down. So using Kubernetes provides less downtime than managing all of your own containers on your own
• Highly scalable and provides load balancing so the network is not overrun.

The image above shows the development of how applications were run in a system

• Traditional is just an application running on your computer
• Virtualized shows an application running in a virtual machine
• Containerized shows how one app can run in an isolated software, but not take up as many resources as a virtual machine does while still being isolated from the host machine
