Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform widely used for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It is designed to be highly scalable, resilient, and extensible, and it can run on a wide range of infrastructure, including public and private clouds, on-premises data centers, and hybrid environments.
