What is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes (K8s) is an open source container orchestration platform originally designed by Google. It automates deploying, scaling, and operating containerized applications across clusters of hosts.
Why We Use Kubernetes
Kubernetes provides the foundation for cloud-native infrastructure:
- Self-Healing: Automatic restarts, replacements, and rescheduling
- Horizontal Scaling: Scale containers based on CPU, memory, or custom metrics
- Service Discovery: Built-in DNS and load balancing for services
- Rolling Updates: Zero-downtime deployments with rollback capability
- Declarative Config: Infrastructure as code with GitOps workflows
Our Kubernetes Expertise
We operate production Kubernetes across cloud providers:
- Cluster Management: EKS, GKE, AKS, and self-managed clusters
- Helm Charts: Package management and templated deployments
- Ingress & Networking: Traffic routing, TLS termination, and service mesh
- Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, and distributed tracing
- Security: RBAC, network policies, and pod security standards
When to Choose Kubernetes
Kubernetes excels for:
- Microservices architectures with many services
- Applications requiring automatic scaling
- Multi-cloud or hybrid cloud deployments
- Teams practicing GitOps and infrastructure as code
- Workloads needing high availability and self-healing
