Kubernetes has become the dominant platform for container orchestration after starting as an internal Google project. It provides a unified platform for deploying and managing container-based applications across public and private clouds. Kubernetes handles tasks like scheduling, health monitoring, and automated rollouts and rollbacks. It uses controllers to define and manage the desired state for workloads. Many companies have built products that integrate with Kubernetes to provide additional capabilities like service meshes, security tools, and serverless functions. Red Hat focuses on delivering Kubernetes through OpenShift along with capabilities for developers, operators, and a consistent hybrid cloud experience.
