You might have heard the name Kubernetes or K8s already and can't really imagine what it is, or you've already heard about it but still need a little more information.
nothing to worry about the what your background is, as long as you're interested, this article is for you.
Kubernetes or K8s both are same.The term "K8s" is a shorthand for "Kubernetes." The number "8" in "K8s" represents the eight letters between the "K" and the "s" in "Kubernetes." we call k8s because of this is short name and easy to speek.
It Is like a traffic controller for containerized applications. It ensures that these applications are running efficiently and reliably, by managing their deployment, scaling, and updating processes.
Q. What is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes is the open source orchestration platform used to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It basically handles everything related to deploying, managing and scaling containerized applications. Its name originates from Greek, meaning something like pilot.

Q. Why we use k8s in industry?
Kubernetes is widely adopted in the industry for several reasons:
Container Orchestration: It abstracts away much of the complexity of managing individual containers, making it easier to deploy and operate applications at scale.
Scalability: You can easily add or remove instances of your application based on demand.
High Availability: Kubernetes provides features for automatic health checks, self-healing, and rolling updates, which help ensure that your applications are highly available and reduces failures.
Resource Efficiency: This helps optimize resource utilization and reduces costs.
Portability: Kubernetes provides a good platform for deploying and managing applications across various environments, including on-premises data centers, public clouds, and hybrid cloud environments.
Ecosystem: Kubernetes has a rich ecosystem of tools and services that complement its core functionality.
Community Support: Kubernetes has a large and active community of developers, users, and contributors. This vibrant community provides support, shares best practices, and contributes to the ongoing development and improvement of Kubernetes, ensuring its relevance and maturity in the industry.
Q. What happens if industry does not use k8s?
Kubernetes makes running any app on any public cloud service or combination of public and private clouds much more straightforward.This allows you to put the right workloads on the right cloud and to help you avoid vendor lock-in.
Kubernetes specialities :
Faster time to market
IT cost optimization
Improved scalability and availability
Multi-cloud flexibility
Effective migration to the cloud
* K8s is Container orchestration tools automate the management, deployment, scaling, and networking of containers.
* For mange the containerization part tool or programm is called Orchestration.
Containerization tools
Docker, podman, Crio, VagrantContainer Orchestration Tools
Docker Swarm, k8sk8s made in Go language. Google hand over the program to a open source community 'Cloud Native Computing Foundation' (CNCF).
CNCF manages: updates, security, Certifications
Certifications:
CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator)
