Anyone who works in IT, in any capacity connected to software will have heard Kubernetes more than once.
While the answer is obvious to anyone in the prog/dev space and many people outside, for others it’s really unclear. People keep trying to explain it to me but it sounds like gibberish. please ?

Ever heard a developer say “Well it works on my machine”? It used to be a common problem, so instead of writing on our own computers, we write code that is fully self-contained, called… containers. Having a lot of containers that do specialized things can be complicated. Kubernetes manages these containers at scale using automation. It helps them talk to each other and the outside world, helps them get the right resources they need, helps them grow or shrink as needed, etc.
This is incredibly oversimplified, but it’s ELI5.
