MSDN Community

Welcome to the Kubernetes Section

Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It was originally designed by Google and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

This section of the MSDN Community is dedicated to all things Kubernetes. Whether you're a beginner looking to understand the basics or an experienced professional seeking advanced insights, you'll find valuable resources here.

Key Concepts

• Pods: The smallest deployable units of computing that you can create and manage in Kubernetes.
• Deployments: Describe the desired state for your application.
• Services: An abstract way to expose an application running on a set of Pods as a network service.
• Namespaces: Provide a mechanism for isolating groups of resources within a single cluster.
• Ingress: Manages external access to the services in a cluster, typically HTTP.
