What is kubernetes?

In short kubernetes is termed as "K8s". It is an open-source container-orchestration tool that is initially released in 2014

Initially it was developed by Google but as of now it was maintained by Cloud Native Computing Foundation

[{"selector":"#anim-fc1da712-5b00-475a-bdec-875d3b2670f7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-244a26ee-9820-46de-ae6d-216afbb68058","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0cd28271-ad4c-4a2d-ad59-92486643c291","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-111.98738%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It is one such platforms for many containers that supports the running and maintaining.

[{"selector":"#anim-6c452637-59c3-4cca-b10f-3c8658fe51c2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3d2f59f5-4cd2-4b58-b75c-0396663f5249","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3b9f9307-6633-4e0b-b1ae-0b0c4a1d8643","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-111.98738%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It is the one important tool for DevOps teams that helps in running the containers either on premises or on the cloud.

[{"selector":"#anim-ca516d37-29a1-4ef7-8461-f5e868d16b33 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-64d967df-99e9-4a5b-b153-7aac42fc754e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e2817203-ab51-42c9-adfd-dfe2c328f39f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-111.98738%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

kubernetes pods are the new virtual machines

[{"selector":"#anim-2aeb0ad3-5c79-4cd9-90ce-01f671743ab7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5592f68a-a81d-493e-8a10-8d0ae5732fc6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c18d4358-2789-419c-8775-2a001b6e71b5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-112.0482%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Kubernetes are written in the "Go Language" it includes the additional features that are not found in the C language.

[{"selector":"#anim-631ebbb9-6346-491b-a7cd-e3594931e1a3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4d1942a0-f40d-4cb5-ae76-5f37bc2dc771","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-85f72e9f-58be-4a39-9e34-33ddcd119656","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-113.2492%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

By 2018, kubernetes ranked 9th in the GitHub projects and positioned in 2nd in authors and issues.

[{"selector":"#anim-171d1333-9dec-44a8-a6f7-912b650c53a1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e0f7a8eb-36ae-4394-8043-f4861a25003c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f447d183-2b59-40a2-b641-a193457ca7b2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.19558%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

ClusterIP , NodePort , LoadBalancer and ExternalName are the 4 types of kubernetes

[{"selector":"#anim-6bc277ce-ec3b-4d69-9fea-269c44fbe2ee [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-05714a5b-ca7c-4f25-93c1-033dfeac1347","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0e29e4ec-323c-4f15-afda-070eff5a7def","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.03268%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Google, Spotify and Pinterest are the few companies that uses kubernetes.

[{"selector":"#anim-2a2fc9ad-c8c6-4bd6-adc3-3fba397c1397 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e9e2d242-a917-41e9-9df0-637b809d513e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5bff086f-3139-49d4-9137-0c3d3ad1a384","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-111.55015%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Azure Kubernetes Services is the real life example of implementation of kubernetes in migrating their applications to Azure.
