Benefits

Service Discovery and Load Balancing:

• Expose containers using DNS names or IP addresses.

• Built-in load balancing for stable deployment.

Storage Orchestration:

• Automatically mount various storage systems (local storage, public cloud providers).

Automated Rollouts and Rollbacks:

• Define and automate the desired state of deployed containers.

• Facilitate controlled updates and rollbacks.

Automatic Bin Packing:

• Efficiently allocate CPU and memory resources.

• Optimize container placement on a cluster of nodes.

Self-Healing:

• Kubernetes restarts, replaces, and manages containers in response to failures.

• Ensure continuous service availability.

Secret and Configuration Management:

• Safely store and update sensitive information.

• Without rebuilding container images or exposing secrets.

Batch Execution:

• Handle batch and CI workloads.

• Replace failed containers as needed.

Horizontal Scaling:

• Easily scale applications up or down based on demand.

• Manual, UI-based, or automated CPU usage-triggered scaling.

IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack:

• Allocate both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to Pods and Services.

• Comprehensive networking support.

Designed for Extensibility:

• Extend Kubernetes clusters with additional features.

• Without modifying upstream source code.
