What is Kubernetes and why does it matter so much

8.01K 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 ?

At its core, Kubernetes excels at achieving desired state. Let’s say I always want 3 instances of my web application running for high availability and performance. I tell Kubernetes that and it will always try to have 3 instances running.

I’m skipping a lot of stuff like containers, clusters, and software defined networks but basically that’s what Kubernetes is, an orchestration engine for containers.
