What is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes is a Google project that has been used in production since 2014, and runs on many different cloud hosting platforms. Kubernetes was made by Google to help deploy lots of containers all at once. Kubernetes takes these containers and runs them quickly and efficiently across the internet.
Kubernetes (also known as k8s or "kube") is a free, open-source container orchestration system that automates several of the laborious manual activities involved in deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications.
