Why do we use Kubernetes?
Kubernetes allows you to deploy cloud-native applications anywhere and manage them exactly as you like everywhere. With containers, it’s easy to quickly ramp application instances to match spikes in demand. And because containers draw on resources of the host OS, they are much lighter weight than virtual machines.
What does Kubernetes run on?
Kubernetes runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and you can also run it on premises. You can move workloads without having to redesign your applications or completely rethink your infrastructure—which lets you standardize on a platform and avoid vendor lock-in.
Is Kubernetes a software?

Is Kubernetes a Microservice?
Kubernetes is an open source orchestrator for deploying containerised applications (microservices). It is also defined as a platform for creating, deploying and managing various distributed applications. These applications may be of different sizes and shapes.
Is Kubernetes tough?
So to answer the question, is Kubernetes hard? Yes, it is fairly difficult to understand, and even harder to implement. However the journey of a 1,000 miles starts with a single step, and CBT Nuggets provides plenty of help along the way. Again, it’s imperative to understand Docker.
What are the disadvantages of Kubernetes?
Drawbacks of Kubernetes
- Kubernetes can be an overkill for simple applications.
- Kubernetes is very complex and can reduce productivity.
- The transition to Kubernetes can be cumbersome.
- Kubernetes can be more expensive than its alternatives.
Why is Kubernetes so hard to install?
It requires a lot of effort and computing; it requires you to solve problems such as fault tolerance, elastic scaling, rolling deployment, and service discovery. This is where the need for an orchestrator like Kubernetes comes in.
