Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It simplifies the process of managing complex containerized environments by providing tools and functionalities for container deployment, scaling, load balancing, and resource allocation.
Kubernetes allows developers to deploy and run applications consistently across different environments, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or hybrid setups. With features like automated scaling, self-healing, and service discovery, Kubernetes helps streamline application deployment and management, making it a popular choice for modern software development and containerized applications.
