Anyone who works in IT, in any capacity connected to software will have heard Kubernetes more than once.

Imagine you have thousands of computers in your organisation running 24/7. You will want to
– monitor that computers are up and running, restart failing computers
– have less computers running at night and more during the day
– roll out new new programs on your computers
– change network and disk settings based on business needs
… and many more similar tasks as business would require
Your options are 1) have a team of people who would be doing this work, or 2) write software that will do that for you. Option 2 is Kubernetes, roughly speaking.
I intentionally didn’t use more appropriate technical terms to keep it ELI5
