Kubernetes basics
Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform which you can use to reliably run containerized applications (e.g. Docker containers) on a pool of worker nodes.
It provides high-level tools for describing how to run containers, and it takes care of scheduling containers on available worker nodes.
It's based on best practices, experiences, and ideas from 15 years of running production workloads at Google, and it has become the de-facto standard platform for running containers.
