What is the main function of the Kubernetes container orchestration system?

The main function of the Kubernetes container orchestration system is to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

Kubernetes provides:

• Automatic start and stop of containers according to the desired state.
• Application scaling (manually or automatically) depending on load.
• Load balancing among containers to ensure high availability.
• Rolling updates to update applications without downtime.
• Self-healing: restarting containers in case of failures.

Thus, Kubernetes simplifies the management of complex applications consisting of many containers, ensuring reliability and flexibility of the infrastructure.
