Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
- The name Kubernetes originates from Greek, meaning helmsman or pilot.
- K8s as an abbreviation results from counting the eight letters between the “K” and the “s”.
- Google open-sourced the Kubernetes project in 2014.
- Kubernetes provides you with a framework to run distributed systems resiliently. It takes care of scaling and failover for your application, and provides deployment patterns.
- Kubernetes is a portable, extensible, open-source platform.
- Kubernetes has a large, rapidly growing ecosystem.
