Google originally developed it,<\/span><b> and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (CNCF). Kubernetes orchestrates containers across a cluster of machines, providing a robust and flexible system for managing modern <a href=\"https:\/\/cyfuture.cloud\/blog\/mastering-cloud-native-computing-from-fundamentals-to-advanced-techniques\/\">cloud-native applications<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"background-color: #8dbff0;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><b>Let&#8217;s make this clearer with an example:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">magine you have a giant puzzle to solve. Instead of tackling it alone, you enlist a group of friends to help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each friend takes a piece of the puzzle and works on it individually. Once everyone is done, you all assemble the complete picture quickly and efficiently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This collaborative effort mirrors how Kubernetes manages applications. It breaks down complex tasks, distributes them across multiple workers (nodes), and coordinates their efforts to ensure everything comes together seamlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span id=\"Why_Was_Kubernetes_Invented\"><b>Why Was Kubernetes Invented?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difficulties of effectively and scale-wise coordinating container deployments led to the creation of Kubernetes. Created in 2013 by<\/span><b> Craig McLuckie, Joe Beda, and Brendan Burns, three engineers at Google<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The complexity of container orchestration was made simpler by Kubernetes, especially when considering cloud-native applications, contemporary microservices designs, and DevOps processes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key reasons behind Kubernete&#8217;s invention include:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Declarative_Model\"><b>Declarative Model<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kubernetes created a declarative API, which specifies an object that requires managing rather than implementing the procedures the system should follow. This approach simplifies deployment and scaling, which makes it much easier to implement in large structures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Extensibility\"><b>Extensibility<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kubernetes is highly extensible and comes with many resources like Pods, Deployments, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and Jobs. It helps software developers extend the available Custom Resource Definitions through the Kubernetes API server and create custom Operators to deal with the said CRDs. This extensibility allows Kubernetes to address a lot of use cases without extra tools for similar purposes as containers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Container_Adoption\"><b>Container Adoption<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In application delivery, the adoption of containers, especially Docker, required a service orchestrator that is currently staffed by Kubernetes. Docker Containers have become a common tool also used in the current software development environment.

To put it simply, Docker is a platform that lets programmers create, load, and execute programs inside of containers. A container is an executable, independent, lightweight package that contains all the necessary components to run software, including libraries, system tools, runtime, and code.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_does_Docker_work\"><b>How does Docker work?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span id=\"Running_Containers\"><b>Running Containers<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once an image is created, developers are allowed to launch containers, as the above Docker command line interface indicates. Containers are running processes created using Docker images that help run multiple applications in isolation on the host OS. These are process control applications that can be started and stopped, restarted, or removed as necessary to offer applications both flexibility and scalability.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Sharing_and_Collaboration\"><b>Sharing and Collaboration<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Containers can also be stored and accessed through Docker Hub and other registries, allowing developers to share their apps with the world and work on cross-team projects.
