What is Kubernetes
Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes builds upon 15 years of experience of running production workloads at Google, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
Kubernetes Integration with Opsera
- Automated rollouts and rollbacks. Kubernetes progressively rolls out changes to your application or its configuration, while monitoring application health to ensure it doesn't kill all your instances at the same time. If something goes wrong, Kubernetes will rollback the change for you. Take advantage of a growing ecosystem of deployment solutions.
- Secret and configuration management. Deploy and update secrets and application configuration without rebuilding your image and without exposing secrets in your stack configuration.
- Automatic bin packing. Automatically places containers based on their resource requirements and other constraints, while not sacrificing availability. Mix critical and best-effort workloads in order to drive up utilization and save even more resources.
- Batch execution. In addition to services, Kubernetes can manage your batch and CI workloads, replacing containers that fail, if desired.
- Horizontal scaling. Scale your application up and down with a simple command, with a UI, or automatically based on CPU usage.
- Self-healing. Restarts containers that fail, replaces and reschedules containers when nodes die, kills containers that don't respond to your user-defined health check, and doesn't advertise them to clients until they are ready to serve.
