We like the way Wikipedia defines ‘application’ — A computer program or the set of software that the end user perceives as a single entity as a tool for a well-defined purpose.
Stuff you wanna know:
- Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
- Kubernetes groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery.
