Description

Kubernetes (K8s) is the leading open-source platform for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Originally developed by Google, it is now managed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Kubernetes offers service discovery, load balancing, auto-scaling, rolling updates, configuration management, and self-healing. It is the de facto standard for container orchestration.
