Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers. It handles scheduling onto nodes in a compute cluster and actively manages workloads to ensure that their state matches the users declared intentions. Using the concepts of "labels" and "pods", it groups the containers which make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery.
Drawing on over ten years of experience running containers at massive scale, but is owned and powered by a diverse set of contributors.
Lightweight, simple and accessible
Built for a multi-cloud world,
public, private or hybrid
Highly modular, designed so that all of its components are easily swappable
Our IRC channel is the best way to contact our engineers and share your ideas with them. They hang out at #google-containers on Freenode. Our user forum on stackoverflow is a great place to go for community support.
