Kubernetes is an open-source container-orchestration system for automating deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications.
Originally designed by Google, it was contributed to Cloud Native Computing Foundation (part of the Linux Foundation) in July 2015.
As an open source project, it seeks to provide a "platform for automating deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across clusters of hosts."
Kubernetes has become the de facto container orchestrator today, and is beginning to see adoption from IT organizations across most industries.
