Kubernetes is an open-source container-orchestration system for automating computer software deployment, scaling, and management. This guide will provide you with an overview of Kubernetes and how to get started with it.

Basic Concepts

  • Pod: The smallest deployable unit in Kubernetes.
  • ReplicaSet: Ensures that a specified number of pod replicas are running at any one time.
  • Deployment: A higher-level abstraction that manages ReplicaSets.
  • Service: Defines a logical set of Pods and a policy by which to access them.
  • Ingress: Defines a set of rules that allow inbound connections to reach the services.
