Kubernetees, K8s for short, is an abbreviation for replacing eight characters "ubernet" with eight characters. Is an open source, used to manage containerized applications on multiple hosts in the cloud platform. The goal of Kubernetes is to make the deployment of containerized applications simple and efficient. Kubernetes provides a mechanism for application deployment, planning, updating and maintenance.

Kubernetes is Google's open source container orchestration engine, which supports automatic deployment, large-scale scalability and application containerization management. When deploying an application in a production environment, it is usually necessary to deploy multiple instances of the application to balance the load of application requests. In Kubernetes, we can create multiple containers, each container runs an application instance, and then realize the management, discovery and access of this group of application instances through the built-in load balancing strategy, and these details do not need complicated manual configuration and processing by the operation and maintenance personnel.
