In 2018, Kubernetes was the CNCF’s first graduate project, becoming one of the fastest-growing open source projects in history. While other container orchestration options, most notablyDocker Swarmand Apache Mesos, gained some traction early on, Kubernetes quickly became the most widely adopted. Si...
Kubernetes is a platform for running applications and services. It manages the full lifecycle of container-based applications, by automating tasks, controlling resources, and abstracting infrastructure.
Container runtime: Kubernetes can handle the containers operating on the nodes using a variety of container runtimes, including Docker or Container. Networking: Kubernetes offers a networking concept that enables communication between containers on various nodes. Combining load balancing and network address...
Kubernetes deploys containers, not source code, and does not build applications. For logging, middleware, monitoring, configuration, CI/CD, and many other production activities, you’ll need additional tools. That said, Kubernetes is extensible, and has proven to be adept for a wide variety of...
Learn more on simplifying container orchestration with Cisco Hybrid Solution for Kubernetes on AWS. How does Kubernetes work? It is important to understand the components that make up Kubernetes. The ‘cluster’ is at the center of Kubernetes. It is the group of nodes that schedule and run the...

A node, also known as aminion, is a worker machine in Kubernetes. It can be either a physical machine or a virtual machine (VM). Nodes have the necessary services to run pods and receive management instructions from master components. Services found on nodes includeDocker, kube-proxy and ku...
When a node is abnormal, Kubernetes will evict pods on the node to ensure workload availability.In Kubernetes, both kube-controller-manager and kubelet can evict pods.Evi
This automated process encompasses existing nodes and all newly created nodes. Pods created by DaemonSet controllers are not subject to Kubernetes scheduling and persist for as long as the node itself. By default, a DaemonSet creates a pod on every node. If necessary, the number of acceptable no...
Kubernetes, as a relatively new technology, has seen tremendous adoption in recent years, but security investment hasn’t always kept up.
