Kubernetes: Robust Management of Multi-container Applications

The Kubernetes project—sometimes abbreviated as k8s—was born out of an internal container management project at Google known as Borg. Kubernetes comes from the Greek word for navigator, as denoted by the seven-spoke wheel of the project’s logo. Kubernetes is written in the Go programming language and provides a robust framework to deploy and manage Docker container applications on the underlying resources managed by cloud providers (such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)).
