Chapter 1 Introduction to Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications. Primarily, Kubernetes provides the tools to easily create a cluster of systems across which containerized applications can be deployed and scaled as required.

The Kubernetes project is maintained at:

https://kubernetes.io/

Kubernetes is fully tested on Oracle Linux 7 and includes additional tools developed at Oracle to ease configuration and deployment of a Kubernetes cluster.
