What is Kubernetes?

A system for automatically managing, scaling, and deploying containerised applications

Why It Matters

Kubernetes handles the complex work of running many containers reliably across multiple servers

Kubernetes automatically starts more containers when traffic increases and stops them when it decreases

A tool that packages your application and everything it needs to run into a standardised container

A lightweight, isolated package containing an application and everything it needs to run

Your application's ability to handle growth in users, data, or traffic

Code that runs on servers close to your users around the world, rather than in one central location
