Kubernetes is an open source container management system, which is increasingly deployed in enterprise-grade and production-ready cloud environments. Kubernetes is being positioned as the silver bullet for containerized environments. Kubernetes automates several tasks associated with the containerization movement. The well-known contributions of the Kubernetes platform include the following:

• Expertly forming container clusters and managing them
• Being blessed with a number of automated tools for application deployment, scaling, healing, and management
• Provisioning and configuring containers for application deployment
• Simplifying the formation of multi-container applications, which are business-aware, process-centric, and composite
• Optimizing and organizing IT infrastructures to improve resource utilization

The unprecedented growth of the Kubernetes tool ecosystem has come as a solace for developers and administrators to embark on the journey toward containerized clouds. There are also some cloud service providers offering Kubernetes as a Service (KaaS).
