Kubernetes (K8s)

The industry standard for orchestrating containerized workloads across distributed infrastructure.

Kubernetes (K8s) is the definitive control plane for managing containerized applications at scale. It automates deployment, scaling, and operations for Linux containers (Docker, containerd) across clusters of physical or virtual machines. By using declarative YAML manifests, operators define the desired state for 1,000+ nodes, and K8s handles the reconciliation. Key features like self-healing (restarting failed pods), horizontal scaling (via HPA), and service discovery make it the backbone of modern DevOps. Whether you are running on GKE, EKS, or bare metal, it provides a consistent API to manage complex microservices with zero downtime.
