Why Kubernetes?
The Rise of Containerization
Containers have revolutionized the way software is developed, packaged, and deployed. Unlike traditional virtual machines, containers offer lightweight and portable solutions that enable efficient utilization of system resources. They encapsulate the application and its dependencies, ensuring consistency and
reproducibility across different environments. As containerization gained popularity in the world of DevOps, the need for a platform to effectively orchestrate these containers became paramount.
Enter Kubernetes
Kubernetes emerged as the leading container orchestration platform, providing a robust and scalable solution for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Developed by Google, Kubernetes leverages its extensive experience in managing large-scale applications to simplify the complexities of container orchestration. It offers a rich ecosystem of tools and features that enable seamless deployment and management across clusters, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance.
