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 ?

Like most things in the industry, it has simply risen to be the popular way to do a particular thing. Just realize everything Kubernetes does you can achieve yourself through scripting and using other tools. But what it does is simplify a lot of the process of managing deployments. And not deployments in one place but across places meaning physical hardware in data centers and providing access to them. Even using Kubernetes there is a lot of work an individual has to do in different tools such containerizing scripts or provisioning hardware Kubernetes then lets you orchestrate or control all that from one place. Including giving access of different distributed systems to different teams of developers as well as giving them some ability to control what is being ran on those systems ‘easily’. To me Kubernetes is an orchestration tool for managing the DEPLOYMENT of distributed software.
