How Kubernetes Helps Manage Containerized Applications
If you’re a Back-End Developer or Full-Stack Developer, you may already be familiar with containerized applications. For those who aren’t: Containerized apps come with all the code, files, and packages they need to run properly on any device, and they’re especially popular with Agile and DevOps teams.
But how can an application run on hundreds or thousands of containers without causing problems? And when one container fails, why doesn’t the whole program crash?
The answer is Kubernetes. If you haven’t heard of it before, no problem. Ahead, we’ll walk you through the basics of what Kubernetes is and how it helps developers seamlessly manage huge containerized applications.
