What is Kubernetes for me

Published
0 min read

Docker is the way to ship your application files in a binary package called image.

The image is used by a container.

A container has a process and is being instantiated by container orchestrators.

Kubernetes, Mesos, Rkt, Docker Engine are all container orchestrator engines.

Kubernetes engine does a lot of things for distributed, large scale deployment with containers. It can be deployed by anyone anywhere. Why? because it's open-sourced. It requires virtual machines to set up its own infrastructure. A most common architecture is a single master server and two worker nodes.

Some of the vendors that provide Kubernetes service are:

  • Google provides GKS.
  • AWS provides EKS.
  • Azure provides AKS.
  • Digital Ocean Kubernetes

You and your company can have your own on-premise Kubernetes cluster and manage it by yourself.
