What is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes (also known as k8s or “kube”) is an open source container orchestration platform that automates many of the manual processes involved in deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications.
Why we need Kubernetes?
Kubernetes can help you deliver and manage containerized, legacy, and cloud-native apps, as well as those being refactored into microservices.
In order to meet changing business needs, your development team needs to be able to rapidly build new applications and services. Cloud-native development starts with microservices in containers, which enables faster development and makes it easier to transform and optimize existing applications.
How Kubernetes works?
What are Pods?
Pods are the smallest deployable units in Kubernetes. A Pod represents a single instance of a running process or a group of tightly coupled processes running together on a single node. While containers are commonly used within Pods, Pods can also include multiple containers that share resources and network connectivity.
The purpose of a Pod is to provide a cohesive and isolated environment for containers to run and share resources, including storage, network, and inter-process communication. Containers within a Pod can communicate with each other via localhost, as they share the same network namespace.
