If you are working in cloud-native environments and managing containerized applications you must have heard of Kubernetes also known as K8´s. It is an open-source container-orchestration tool that was mainly developed by the Google team to manage their containerized workflows. Google open-sourced it in 2014 and after that, they worked with The Linux Foundation and released Kubernetes 1.0 on July 21,2015. Now Kubernetes is totally an open-source community with engineers working for top tech companies such as Google, RedHat, VMware, etc.
Many companies are now using Kubernetes to manage their container workloads and infrastructure at a large scale. Some are facing trouble trying to convert their workload into microservices or finding a good consultant so that they can containerize their workloads and run them as microservices in a scalable and highly-available environment. When it comes to Kubernetes consulting you should always find the best consultant as Kubernetes is a very complex tool and not all engineers know it to the depth StackOverdrive´s engineers do. If the infrastructure is not configured correctly according to the workload it can lead to many overpaid bills and so much more. So today we are going to talk about some main components of Kubernetes and talk about the advantages and disadvantages of using K8´s in your company based on different workloads so that you can understand how it works and which types of workflows can use its advantages.
