The idea of Kubernetes as a data center OS
In the summer of 2014 it was open-sourced and handed over to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).
This means Kubernetes orchestrates one or more hosts that run containers,
In this model, Docker is a lower-level technology that is orchestrated and managed by Kubernetes.
Kubernetes has also released the Container Runtime Interface (CRI)
It essentially “blessed” Kubernetes to become the industry-standard container orchestrator.
but the long-term strategic orchestrator for containerized applications is Kubernetes!
Kubernetes relates to Google’s Borg and Omega systems.
Helmsman - that’s the person who steers a ship.
the world of application development is a far friendlier place because of it.
Kubernetes is one of an emerging breed of data center operating systems aiming to do this.
Forget about naming your servers and treating them like pets
“hey Kubernetes, I’ve got this app and it consists of these parts… just run it for me please”
The only thing that the courier requires is that it’s packaged and labelled according to their requirements.
Kubernetes is the leading container orchestrator that lets us manage containerized apps at scale.
In the application world, we call this “orchestration”.
