Kubernetes

term

cloudops culture

Stands for: Kubernetes (K8s)

An open-source system for automating the deployment and scaling of containerized applications.

Kubernetes (abbreviated K8s) schedules containers across a cluster, restarts failed ones, and scales them to demand, so operators declare the desired state and it converges there. It has become the default control layer for cloud-native workloads.

Also known as: k8s, kube, kubernetes
