DescriptionWhat is Kubernetes?
When you run a server in production, how do you handle problems such as...
hardware failures
application crashes
spikes in user demand
updates and redeployments of your application
automatically managing any number of Docker containers
migrating to completely different data centers or cloud providers
Sure. You could handle these problems using a collection of utility programs and custom infrastructure code. But that's a lot of work.
On the other hand, you can package your application in Docker containers and run those containers in Kubernetes!
The combination of containers and Kubernetes frees you from creating lots of infrastructure to manage your applications running in production.
That's no small thing.
So what is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes is a container management system.
Kubernetes makes your containerized applications highly reliable.
It reduces the number of damage control incidents and late night emergency phone calls from work.
Why Learn Kubernetes?
Kubernetes helps you manage your application in production by providing...
automatic crash recovery
built in load balancing
horizontal scaling using a single command
upgrade your app while maintain 100% uptime
revert without any downtime
simple service discovery
automatic container scheduling
secret data management
Kubernetes has a pluggable (customizable) architecture.
It abstracts away the underlying hardware.
It is open source (no vendor lock-in).
It's very popular—and growing more so every year.
