Why is Kubernetes an Important Tool ?

Image
Kubernetes also known as "K8s", automates the deployment and management of cloud-native applications by orchestrating containerized applications running on a cluster of hosts. With this tool, workloads are distributed across a cluster and dynamic container networking is automated. It allocates storage and persistent volumes to running containers, scales automatically, and continuously maintains the desired state of applications, providing resilience. The Kubernetes platform is an open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services. It facilitates declarative configuration as well as automation. There is a large, rapidly expanding ecosystem of Kubernetes services, support, and tools available. Why Do we need Kubernetes? When it comes to the necessity of Kubernetes, the summarized answer is that it saves developers and operators a lot of time and effort, allowing them to focus on building the features they need instead of trying to figure out and i

Introduction to Docker and its Use Cases

Image
Several development teams are focusing on Docker as one of their favorite container-based platforms. It is becoming increasingly popular due to its reliability, performance, and functionality. The open-source containerization software and its underlying components must therefore be understood. In this article, we will focus on Docker, containers, use cases of Docker, its advantages, and its differences from Virtual Machines. What is Docker? The Docker containerization platform provides a lightweight virtualized environment called a container that allows developers to develop, deploy, and manage applications. It serves primarily as a development platform for distributed applications that can operate in a variety of environments. By making the software system agnostic, developers don’t have to worry about compatibility issues. Since Docker utilizes virtualization to create containers to store apps, the concept may seem similar to virtual machines. Also, packaging apps into iso
