Kubernetes is an open source system started by Google to provide an orchestration system that helps users view a set of hosts as a unified programmable reliable cluster. It coordinates Docker containers across multiple nodes, provides unified programming and enhanced capabilities like reliable container restarting and self-healing if nodes fail. Kubernetes allows for high cluster utilization, organization of containers, horizontal scaling and replication, support for microservices, and streamlined operations.

Kubernetes

Introduction

 As applications grow beyond what can be safely handled on a single host, a need has
arisen for what has come to be called an orchestration system.

 An orchestration systems helps users view a set of hosts (also referred to as nodes) as a
unified programmable reliable cluster. That cluster can be viewed and used as a giant
computer.

 Kubernetes (often abbreviated as k8s) is an open source system started by Google to fill
this need.
Kubernetes Characteristics

 A Kubernetes cluster coordinates Docker across multiple nodes and provides a unified
programming model with enhanced capabilities.

 Reliable container restart:


 Kubernetes can monitor the health of a container and restart it when it fails.

 Self-healing:
 If a node fails, the Kubernetes management system can automatically reschedule work
onto healthy nodes.
 Dynamic service membership ensures that those new containers can be found and used
 High-cluster utilization:
 By scheduling a diverse set of workloads on a common set of machines, users can drive
dramatically higher utilization compared to static manual placement.
 The larger the cluster and the more diverse the workloads, the better the utilization.

 Organization and grouping:


 With large clusters, keeping track of all the containers that are running can be difficult.
 Kubernetes provides a flexible labeling system that allows both users and other systems
to think in sets of containers.
 Horizontal scaling and replication:
 Kubernetes is built to enable easy horizontal scaling. Scaling and load balancing are
intrinsic concepts.

 Microservice friendly:
 Kubernetes clusters are a perfect companion for teams adopting a microservices
architecture.
 Applications can be broken into smaller parts that are easier to develop, scale, and
reason about. Kubernetes provides ways for a service to find (commonly called
discovery) and communicate with other services.
 Streamlined operations:
 Kubernetes allows for specialized ops teams. Management of the Kubernetes system
and the nodes that it runs on can be driven by a dedicated team or outsourced to a cloud
service.
 Operational teams for specific apps (or the development team itself) can then focus on
running that application without managing the details of individual nodes.
Docker & Kubernetes

 While Docker is great for dealing with containers running on a single node, Kubernetes
addresses the additional challenges around cross-node communication and scale.

 Cluster scheduling:
 The process of placing a container on a specific node to optimize the reliability and
utilization of the cluster.

 Pods:
 A group of containers that must be placed on a single node and work together as a team.
 Allowing a set of containers to work closely together on a single node is a powerful way
to make applications even more manageable.
 Labels:
 Data attached to pods in order to organize a group for monitoring and management.

 Replication controllers:
 Agents that work to make sure that a horizontal scaling group or pod is reliably
maintained.

 Network services:
 A way to communicate between not just pods, but groups of pods by using dynamically
configured naming and network proxies.
