Kubernetes
A system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, grouping containers into logical units for easy management
&
| + | Service Discovery | Exposes containers using DNS names or IP addresses |
|---|---|---|
| + | Load Balancing | Balances network traffic for stable deployments |
| + | Self-Healing | Restarts, replaces, and kills containers that fail or don’t respond to health checks |
| + | Horizontal Scaling | Automatically increases or decreases the number of pods based on CPU utilization |
| + | Deployment | Manages the deployment of applications, ensuring the desired state is maintained |
| + | Storage Orchestration | Automatically mounts storage systems like local storages and public cloud providers |
| + | Persistent Storage | Provides storage solutions that retain data even after pods are killed or rescheduled |
| + | Automatic Bin Packing | Allocates CPU and memory resources efficiently across nodes |
| + | Resource Quotas and Limits | Enables administrators to enforce resource usage limits on users and namespaces, preventing resource exhaustion |
| + | Image Registry Integration | Seamlessly integrates with container registries (like Docker Hub, Google Container Registry) to pull and manage container images |
| - | Steep Learning Curve | Requires significant training and practice to develop and operate containers effectively. Debugging, integration, and troubleshooting demands expertise. |
| - | Transition Complexity | Transitioning to it can be confusing and time-consuming |
| - | Not Ideal for Small Start-ups | May not be useful for small start-ups that do not require scaling |
| - | Planning Requirements | Requires extensive planning ahead of time |
