Kubernetes Orchestration

Kubernetes, as we explained in the last post, is a container orchestration tool able to simplify the management of containers and, simultaneously, to make it more efficient. In today’s article we will see which are the specific features and benefits of this tool.

Kubernetes Orchestration

Kubernetes, often abbreviated as “K8s”, orchestrates containerized applications to run on a cluster of hosts. The K8s system automates the deployment and management of cloud native applications using on-premises infrastructure or public cloud platforms. It distributes application workloads across a Kubernetes cluster and automates dynamic container networking needs. Kubernetes also allocates storage and persistent volumes to running containers, provides automatic scaling, and works continuously to maintain the desired state of applications, providing resiliency.

Automates various manual processes:
Interacts with several groups of containers:
Provides additional services:

Key Features of Kubernetes Orchestration

Automated Deployment and Scaling

  • Automated Rollouts and Rollback Kubernetes manages the deployment of applications and ensures that updates are rolled out progressively and safely. It can roll back changes automatically if something goes wrong.

Self-Healing

  • Automatic Restarting Restarts containers that fail, are terminated, or encounter issues.
  • Automatic Rescheduling Reschedules containers onto healthy nodes if their current nodes go down.

Service Discovery and Load Balancing

  • Service Discovery Provides a way to discover services without needing to configure them manually. Each service gets a DNS name that can be used within the cluster.
  • Load Balancing Distributes network traffic across multiple pods, ensuring no single pod is overwhelmed.

Storage Orchestration

  • Persistent Storage Automatically mounts and manages storage for containers, including local storage, cloud storage, and network storage systems.
  • Dynamic Volume Provisioning Automatically provisions storage volumes when needed, based on user-defined storage classes.

Secret and Configuration Management

  • Secrets Management Manages sensitive information, such as passwords and API keys, separately from the application code.
  • ConfigMaps Manages non-sensitive configuration data separately from container images, enabling configuration changes without rebuilding the image.

Network Policies

  • Networking Manages container-to-container networking, including defining rules for communication between pods and services
  • Network Segmentation Supports network segmentation and isolation, enhancing security within the cluster.
01

Resource Monitoring and Logging

Monitoring: Integrates with monitoring solutions like Prometheus to collect and analyze metrics.

02

Declarative Configuration

Desired State Management: Users declare the desired state of the system (e.g., deployment configurations), and Kubernetes works to maintain that state automatically.

03

Multi-Tenancy

Namespaces: Supports multiple virtual clusters within the same physical cluster through namespaces, allowing for separation and resource allocation among different teams or projects.
