Preface
This book describes how to use Kubernetes, which is an implementation of the open source, containerized application management platform from the upstream Kubernetes release. Oracle provides extra tools, testing, and support to deliver this technology with confidence. Kubernetes integrates with container products to handle more complex deployments where clustering might be used to improve the scalability, performance, and availability of containerized applications. Detail is provided on the advanced features of Kubernetes and how it can be installed, configured, and used as a component of Oracle Cloud Native Environment.
This document describes functionality and usage available in the most current release of the product.

Diversity and Inclusion
Oracle is fully committed to diversity and inclusion. Oracle respects and values having a diverse workforce that increases thought leadership and innovation. As part of our initiative to build a more inclusive culture that positively impacts our employees, customers, and partners, we are working to remove insensitive terms from our products and documentation. We are also mindful of the necessity to maintain compatibility with our customers' existing technologies and the need to ensure continuity of service as Oracle's offerings and industry standards evolve. Because of these technical constraints, our effort to remove insensitive terms is ongoing and will take time and external cooperation.
