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 ?

Kubernetes is software that manages the infrastructure that other software runs on. It’s considered to be an orchestration system, which means it’s a central control authority that governs a collection of others systems. It manages things like networking, resource allocation, updates, etc.

In many respects Kubernetes does analogous jobs to what the operating system of a single machine does, but it’s an operating system for a distributed collection of machines instead of just one.
