Orchestrating containerized applications, Kubernetes manages Pods as the smallest deployable units, grouping one or more containers together.
Ensuring application availability, Kubernetes Deployments manage the lifecycle of Pods, providing scaling, rolling updates, and rollback capabilities.
Facilitating network communication, Kubernetes Services abstract Pod access, providing stable endpoints for inter-Pod communication within the cluster.
Routing external traffic, Kubernetes Ingress controllers manage incoming requests, enabling HTTP and HTTPS routing based on defined rules.
Managing storage, Kubernetes Persistent Volumes abstract underlying storage resources, providing persistent data storage for stateful applications.
Configuring applications securely, Kubernetes ConfigMaps and Secrets store configuration data and sensitive information, respectively, allowing applications to consume them as environment variables or mounted files.
Organizing resources, Kubernetes Namespaces partition cluster resources, enabling multi-tenancy and resource isolation within a single cluster.
Scaling applications dynamically, Kubernetes HPA automatically adjusts the number of replica Pods based on resource utilization metrics, ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency.
Extending Kubernetes functionality, CRDs define custom resources and Operators automate management tasks, enabling custom controllers for complex application orchestration.
Deploying stateful applications, Kubernetes StatefulSets manage stateful Pods, providing ordered deployment, scaling, and persistent network identities for databases and other stateful workloads.
