[Kubernetes] Architecture

Kubernetes coordinates a highly available cluster of computers that are connected to work as a single unit. Kubernetes automates the distribution and scheduling of application containers across a cluster in an efficient way.

  • Service discovery and load balancing
  • Storage orchestration
  • Automated rollouts and rollbacks
  • Self-healing
  • Secret and configuration management

Features

  • Management of containers: Service discovery/load balancing, secrete and configuration management
  • Scale containers: self healing, horizontal scaling
  • Storage Orchestration: Robust networking and storage options

Here is the list of useful Kubernetes commands and examples.
