What is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes builds upon 15 years of experience of running production workloads at Google, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.

We're using it to deploy our machine learning solutions. Every public cloud has their own version of Kubernetes. For example, Google has its own version, which is known as the Google Kubernetes Engine. AWS has its own version, which is known as the Elastic Kubernetes Services, EKS. Our entire data…

Operations Engineer at DNB

The downside scaling and rendering with Kubernetes in our company is handled by a third-party client; we only raise tickets with them. I would rate the scalability of Kubernetes as seven out of ten. I am satisfied with the scalability of the product offered to our organization. There are around 1500 to 2000 Kubernetes users in our company. Our organization's entire IT blueprint team uses the solution extensively for the nonproduction environment. The usage of Kubernetes may increase in our organization depending upon requirements, as we have no plans to scale down the use, and the upscaling license is already available to us.

Container Management

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Sep 1, 2024

Valuable Features

"I found it to be an excellent solution for application deployment. It's great for containerization."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the auto-scaling feature. However, Kubernetes is not used alone; it is part of a complete deployment pipeline integrated with DevOps. This pipeline includes automation and deployment capabilities."
"It has a complete loading feature set for replica site deployment."

Room for Improvement

"One thing I noticed is when you have multiple deployments and your node count increases beyond eight or nine, the container creation process doesn't copy properties correctly."
"One area where Kubernetes could improve is troubleshooting. The current process for troubleshooting and installation can be challenging, especially with a large ecosystem. Better tools and artificial intelligence capabilities developed to assist with troubleshooting, configuration, and support would be helpful. This improvement would be particularly beneficial for large enterprise customers."
"Currently, in Kubernetes, all of the health deployments or monitoring, and the discrete tools need to be configured. Changing this would make it much easier. Otherwise, we have to rely on a external tool to implement the monitoring."

Pricing

"Pricing isn't a major concern for us. Since we resell Kubernetes services and focus on providing support, integration, and education, we don't usually have pricing issues. Our customers are more concerned with getting the right support and services than the cost. So, the value we provide is more important than the actual pricing. Pricing might change in the future, but it’s not a big issue for us right now."
"It's an affordable solution"
"Microsoft provides reasonable costs for Kubernetes."
