Key Features
Container Orchestration
Automate deployment, scaling, and lifecycle management of containers.
Self-Healing
Automatically restarts failed containers and replaces unhealthy nodes.
Service Discovery & Load Balancing
Expose services and distribute traffic across pods seamlessly.
Declarative Configuration
Use YAML manifests to define desired state and automate rollouts.
How It Works
Install Kubernetes
Use Minikube for local setup or deploy on cloud providers like GKE, EKS, AKS.
Define Manifests
Create YAML files for pods, services, deployments, and volumes.
Apply Configuration
Use `kubectl apply` to deploy resources and manage cluster state.
Monitor & Scale
Use metrics and autoscaling to adjust resources dynamically.
Update & Rollback
Perform rolling updates and rollbacks with zero downtime.
