Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Also known as K8s, it groups application containers into logical units for efficient management and service discovery. Built on Google’s extensive experience running production workloads at massive scale, Kubernetes delivers proven reliability and performance. It supports automated rollouts, self-healing, load balancing, and flexible storage orchestration. Kubernetes runs consistently across on-premises, hybrid, and public cloud environments, giving teams complete infrastructure freedom.
