Kuberneteskubernetes.ioKubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, grouping containers into logical units for easy management and discovery. It provides features such as automated rollouts and rollbacks, service discovery and load balancing, storage orchestration, secret and configuration management, automatic bin packing, self-healing, and both horizontal and vertical scaling. Designed for Google-scale operations, Kubernetes runs on-premises, in hybrid environments, or in public clouds, enabling workloads to move where it matters and supporting batch/CI workloads.
