Kubernetes Overview
Introduction: Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source platform for automating deployment, scaling, and
management of containerized applications.
Architecture: Components include Master Node (API Server, Scheduler, Controller Manager, etcd)
and Worker Nodes (kubelet, kube-proxy, container runtime).
Core Concepts: Pods, ReplicaSets, Deployments, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and
Volumes.
Use Cases: Microservices deployments, hybrid cloud, CI/CD pipelines, and scaling modern
applications.
Benefits: High availability, scalability, self-healing, and portability across environments.
Challenges: Learning curve, complexity, and cluster management overhead.
Conclusion: Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration in modern
DevOps practices.
