Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
Originally developed by Google, Kubernetes (or K8s) has become the industry standard for running microservices in production. It helps teams manage container clusters, maintain high availability, and roll out updates with zero downtime.
With features like auto-scaling, self-healing, service discovery, and declarative configuration, Kubernetes is ideal for large, complex applications running in cloud environments like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
