What is Kubernetes and why does it matter so much

8.00K views

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 ?

Applications are bananas. You need to ship them to customers.

When you’re only going to a few places, you can just load up the bananas directly on the ship.

When you have lots of destinations, it helps to put them into standard containers. That’s docker.

When you have to do a lot of loading and unloading because banana demand keeps changing, and you only want to pay for full containers, you employ a dockyard crane to fetch and load containers. That’s kubernetes.
