What Is Kubernetes And Why Should You Care?
Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration framework originally developed by google, released on September 2014 and later donated to CNCF (Cloud Native Community Foundation). Kubernetes helps us manage applications that are made up of hundreds or even thousands of containers and it helps us manage these applications in different environments like physical machines, virtual machines, cloud environments or even hybrid deployment environments.
Kubernetes is the most popular and widely used container orchestration tool. It has a lot of use cases, major once are:
1. High availability of the application: this means that the application has no downtime so it’s always accessible to the users
2. Scalability: this means that application has a high performance, it loads fast and users have a very high response rates from the application.
3. Disaster recovery: this basically means that if an infrastructure has some problems like data is lost or the servers explode or something bad happens with the server center, the infrastructure has to have some kind of mechanism to pick up the data and to restore it to the latest state so that application doesn’t actually lose any data and can run again.
DevOps Best Practices for Kubernetes
DevOps is the hot topic in the market these days. DevOps is a vague term used for wide number of operations, most agreeable defination of DevOps would be that DevOps is an intersection of development and operations. Certain practices need to be followed during the application release process in DevOps for a more streamline workflow, continuous delivery and continuous integration of the code and proper scaling for the application. In this article we will discuss the best DevOps practice you must know as a DevOps engineer/ DevOps enthusiast for Kubernetes in 2023.
