KoC 6 - What makes Kubernetes the container manager for Cloud


Listen Later

Kubernetes very quickly became the container manager of choice after its release in 2014 and has retained its popularity since. By abstracting away much of the operational complexity of running anywhere from 2 to 2000 (and more) containers, it simplifies running containers at scale. It can monitor a 'fleet' of containers, restart failed ones, and scale groups of containers up or down according to application needs. In addition, Kubernetes also has API-enabled controllers to manage versions and deployments. This provides an extra layer of automation, making deploying individual, containerized applications much easier for developers.

Robert and Lew discuss some of the key features that make Kubernetes such a powerful and popular application manager (simple app scaling and updates, self-healing capabilities, and more) and also point out a few areas that still need improvement (and caution). (Hint: persistent storage).
