Welcome to HostSpace HKE: Introduction to Kubernetes

What is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is an open-source platform designed to automate deploying, scaling, and operating application containers. It allows you to manage a cluster of machines as a single system, making it easier to deploy, scale, and manage applications in a consistent and reliable manner.

Key Concepts

  1. Containers: Lightweight, standalone, executable packages that include everything needed to run a piece of software, including the code, runtime, system tools, libraries, and settings.

  2. Pods: The smallest deployable units in Kubernetes, consisting of one or more containers that share storage, network, and a specification for how to run the containers.

  3. Services: Abstractions that define a logical set of Pods and a policy to access them. They enable stable endpoints for accessing running applications.

  4. Deployments: Kubernetes objects that manage the deployment and scaling of sets of Pods. They ensure your application runs as intended by managing the lifecycle of Pods.

  5. Namespaces: Virtual clusters within a Kubernetes cluster, allowing you to separate resources and provide isolation among different projects or teams.

Why Use Kubernetes?

  • Scalability: Automatically scale applications up and down based on demand.

  • High Availability: Ensure your applications are always available, even in the event of failures.

  • Resource Efficiency: Optimize the use of resources by intelligently scheduling and running containers.

  • Portability: Run your applications consistently across different environments, from your local machine to the cloud.

  • Automation: Automate the deployment, scaling, and management of applications.
