Kubernetes

Kubernetes is open-source software designed for automated management of containerized applications. It provides automatic deployment, scaling, load balancing, service monitoring, error handling, and much more.

Using Kubernetes offers numerous advantages, including the following key features:

Automatic Deployment

With Kubernetes, you can automate the process of creating new containers for deployment, removing existing containers, and reallocating resources to new containers. Applications deployed with Kubernetes will always run as intended.

Service Monitoring

Kubernetes automatically detects containers that have malfunctioned or stopped responding to requests and restarts them. If a container fails a specified health check, Kubernetes will terminate it and start a new container to replace it.

Network Load Balancing

Kubernetes balances network traffic to ensure stable deployment. If a container experiences high traffic, Kubernetes will restart it to balance the load.

Easy Migration

Kubernetes allows you to run an application in the same environment anywhere. You can easily migrate applications from local development machines to servers for deployment without worrying about compatibility issues.

Secure Storage of Sensitive Information

Passwords, OAuth tokens, and SSH keys are kept confidential. You can update application configurations without changing container images or exposing sensitive information in the stack configuration.

Automated Updates

As with other operations, the update process can be fully automated. Updates do not affect the current system operation, can be performed at a convenient time for development, and do not require the involvement of engineering teams.

Performance and Fault Tolerance

With flexible load management and extensive cluster scaling capabilities, Kubernetes ensures high system performance and fault tolerance.
