Kubernetes automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
Kubernetes is a powerful orchestration platform that manages containerized microservices across a cluster of machines. It handles scaling, load balancing, and failover for applications, ensuring high availability. For instance, in an e-commerce application, Kubernetes can automatically scale the number of instances of an order processing service during high demand, and ensure they are evenly distributed across available nodes.
