Kubernetes

Problem

• Containers are a good way to bundle and run your applications.

• In a production environment, you need to manage the containers that run the applications and ensure that there is no downtime.

• For example, if a container goes down, another container needs to start. Wouldn't it be easier if this behavior was handled by a system?

Solution

• Kubernetes is an open sourced solution that provides you with a framework to run distributed systems resiliently.

• It takes care of scaling and failover for your application, provides deployment patterns, and more.

  • For example: Kubernetes can easily manage a canary deployment for your system.

• Features provided are,

  • Service discovery and load balancing

  • Storage orchestration

  • Automated rollouts and rollbacks

  • Automatic bin packing

  • Self-healing

  • Secret and configuration management

  • Batch execution

  • Batch execution

  • IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack
