So you ever wonder what the heck is kubernetes

Well kubernetes is like a control panel of a space ship that manages and gives a form of control of the different engines, network, and components of the space ship to the space pilot; Kubernetes simply controls and manage a huge list of mini like computers that are kind of isolated from each other.

It's management process includes and not limited to deploying new mini computers when old ones fail: which is called a fault-tolerant system; Creation and management of network to various mini computers that it manages; Allocation of resources and secrets like password between various mini-computers; Ability to control shutting down and deployment of new mini like computers; Ability to observe, monitor and alert this mini computers; there is a whole lot more that is not mentioned.

This mini computers are actually containers that are running.
