Features of Kubernetes:
- Automates various manual processes: for instance, Kubernetes will control for you which server will host the container, how it will be launched etc.
- Interacts with several groups of containers: Kubernetes is able to manage more cluster at the same time
- Provides additional services: as well as the management of containers, Kubernetes offers security, networking and storage services
- Self-monitoring: Kubernetes checks constantly the health of nodes and containers
- Horizontal scaling: Kubernetes allows you scaling resources not only vertically but also horizontally, easily and quickly
- Storage orchestration: Kubernetes mounts and add storage system of your choice to run apps
- Automates rollouts and rollbacks: if after a change to your application something goes wrong, Kubernetes will rollback for you
- Container balancing: Kubernetes always knows where to place containers, by calculating the “best location” for them
- Run everywhere: Kubernetes is an open source tool and gives you the freedom to take advantage of on-premises, hybrid, or public cloud infrastructure, letting you move workloads to anywhere you want
Benefits of Kubernetes for companies:
- Control and automate deployments and updates
- Save money by optimizing infrastructural resources thanks to the more efficient use of hardware
- Orchestrate containers on multiple hosts
- Solve many common problems deriving by the proliferation of containers by organizing them in “pods” (see the last post!)
- Scale resources and applications in real time
- Test and autocorrection of applications
