Introduction to Kubernetes
Back in the day, virtual machines were used to isolate applications running on the same physical server. It caused security threats, cost-inefficiency, and resource allocation issues.
With containerized applications, we virtualize the operating system, not the hardware. Giving your application a virtual OS instead of providing a virtual machine with virtual hardware makes your life much easier.
Containerized software runs regardless of the environment, from on-premises servers to public and private clouds, and is available for both Linux and Windows-based apps. It means containers can run on any computer or the production server.
Kubernetes from Advanced Hosting, as a unified platform, provides a simple API to send requests throughout your cluster infrastructure to run, coordinate, and scale your application ecosystem. It automates managing, updating, and removing containers on the go.
Smoothly orchestrate hundreds of applications running alongside to the best of your system’s abilities!

Scalability, Availability, and Reliability: Kubernetes allows you to seamlessly scale your applications, ensuring the best performance when traffic spikes and conserving resources during quieter times. It secures high availability for your apps and services by automatically redistributing workload and restarting failed containers. Kubernetes automated testing results in faster and more reliable software releases.
Reduced Time to Market: Kubernetes accelerates deployment with process automation and consistency across dev, test, and prod environments. It gives you an upper hand in releasing new products and introducing demanded new features. This agility provides a competitive edge in today’s digital marketplace.
Resource efficiency: By running multiple applications on the same hardware, you achieve more with fewer resources, saving on infrastructure costs. Kubernetes optimizes system resource usage, reduces downtime, and increases developer productivity. In the best traditions of the DevOps approach, it facilitates steady development-operational integration and continuous delivery.
Maintenance, Security, and Compliance: With Kubernetes, security policies are consistently enforced across all applications. It also enables regular updates and patches, crucial for maintaining compliance and safeguarding sensitive data.
