Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source platform for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Originally designed by Google and now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, it groups containers into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes has become the industry standard for container orchestration across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
