K8s

K8s is the open-source industry standard for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications at scale.

Originally built by Google and now managed by the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation), K8s orchestrates clusters of virtual or physical machines (nodes) to run containerized workloads. It handles the operational heavy lifting: service discovery, load balancing, and automated rollouts. If a pod fails, K8s restarts it: if a node goes down, it reschedules the work elsewhere to maintain your desired state. You define the infrastructure via declarative YAML files, and the control plane ensures your production environment stays stable under heavy traffic.
