Answer from AI

Kubernetes is a container orchestration system that manages the deployment, scaling, and maintenance of containerized applications. Unlike Docker, which is responsible for creating and running individual containers, Kubernetes provides:

  • Automatic application scaling
  • Self-healing (restarting failed containers)
  • Load balancing
  • Management of configurations and secrets
  • Declarative cluster state description

The smallest management unit in Kubernetes is a Pod. A Pod is one or more containers that run on a single host and share network and storage resources.
