Kubernetes
Open-source system for orchestrating containerized applications.
Kubernetes (often abbreviated K8s) is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications. It was originally developed at Google and is now maintained under the umbrella of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
Kubernetes groups containers into logical units and distributes them across a group of servers (a cluster). In doing so it handles tasks such as load balancing, automatic restarting of failed containers, horizontal scaling and rolling updates without downtime.
Combined with container technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes is a common foundation for running scalable, fault-tolerant applications in the cloud and in your own data center.
