Manage Containerize application
K8 is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
Scalability
Designed on the same principles that allow Google to run billions of containers a week, Kubernetes can scale without increasing your operations team.
Flexibility
Whether testing locally or running a global enterprise, Kubernetes flexibility grows with you to deliver your applications consistently and easily no matter how complex your need is.
Availability
Kubernetes is open source giving you the freedom to take advantage of on-premises, hybrid, or public cloud infrastructure, letting you effortlessly move workloads to where it matters to you.
Kubernetes
used for...
saves developers and operators a great deal of time and effort, and lets them focus on building features for their applications, instead of figuring out and implementing ways to keep their applications running well, at scale.
Kubernetes Features
Automated
If something goes wrong, Kubernetes will rollback the change for you. Automatically places containers based on their resource requirements and other constraints, while not sacrificing availability.
Self-healing
Restarts containers that fail, replaces and reschedules containers when nodes die, kills containers that don’t respond to your user-defined health check.
Service discovery and load balancing
No need to modify your application to use an unfamiliar service discovery mechanism. Kubernetes gives Pods their own IP addresses and a single DNS name for a set of Pods, and can load-balance across them.
Horizontal scaling
Scale your application up and down with a simple command, with a UI, or automatically based on CPU usage.
IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack
Allocation of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to Pods and Services
Secret and configuration management
Deploy and update secrets and application configuration without rebuilding your image and without exposing secrets in your stack configuration.
