Kubernetes, also known as K8s, groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. It builds upon 15 years of experience running production workloads at Google, incorporating best practices from the community.

Designed to scale without increasing your operations team, Kubernetes is based on the same principles that allow Google to run billions of containers weekly. Its flexibility ensures that whether you're testing locally or running a global enterprise, Kubernetes can adapt to your needs.

As an open source platform, Kubernetes provides the freedom to utilize on-premises, hybrid, or public cloud infrastructure, allowing seamless workload migration. With features like automated rollouts, self-healing, and service discovery, it enhances application reliability and performance.
