Mastering Kubernetes: Orchestrating Containerized Applications
About Lesson

Comparing Kubernetes with Other Orchestration Tools:

Kubernetes vs. Docker Swarm:

Feature Kubernetes Docker Swarm
Scalability Highly scalable Limited scalability
Complexity Higher learning curve Simple to use
Features Comprehensive (e.g., autoscaling) Limited

Kubernetes vs. Apache Mesos:

Feature Kubernetes Apache Mesos
Focus Containers General orchestration
Ecosystem Built-in container tools Requires custom setup

Unique Kubernetes Features:

  1. Self-Healing: Automatically replaces failed Pods.

  2. Load Balancing: Distributes traffic across Pods evenly.

  3. Declarative Configuration: Uses YAML manifests for application setup.

Activity:

Research three Kubernetes features and explain how they make Kubernetes suitable for large-scale, production-ready applications.
