Why is Kubernetes considered the next-generation
application platform?

• There are several application platforms in the
  modern-day world that one can use for cloud
  services, DevOps services, and application
  software testing. Amidst all the application
  platforms, the one platform that has stood out is
  Kubernetes. Kubernetes is one of the best
  next-generation application platforms and will be
  in trend in 2023.
• In this blog, we will walk you through what
  Kubernetes is, its advantages, and how it is
  better than other application platforms.

What is Kubernetes?

• Kubernetes is a prominent open-source platform
  for container orchestration. Multiple
  applications built out of largely self-contained
  runtimes are called containers. Kubernetes allows
  you to deploy manage multi-container
  applications at scale.
• Kubernetes is primarily used with the most
  popular containerization platform Docker.
  Kubernetes operates with any container system
  that is in accordance with the Open Container
  Initiative (OCI) standards for container image
  formats runtimes.
• Kubernetes can be used by anyone who wants to run
  containers, whether on the public cloud,
  on-premises, or both. Over the years, Kubernetes
  has become a vital part of the container
  revolution.

Advantages of Kubernetes

• Kubernetes have the latest abstractions
  concepts, and the learning curve for Kubernetes
  is on the higher end. Kubernetes has remarkable
  long-term advantages. Let us walk you through the
  salient advantages of Kubernetes.

Resource Allocation Management

• Resource allocation management is one of the
  time-consuming tasks, and Kubernetes ease off
  this task by managing app health, load balance,
  responsiveness to user demands, hardware
  resource allocation. Kubernetes saves ample time
  by taking off these tasks. E.g., the apps that
  dont conform to the apps health can be
  automatically repaired.
• Kubernetes maximizes the usage of hardware
  resources, including storage I/O, memory,
  network bandwidth. There are soft hard limits
  on resource usage. Kubernetes clubs together
  minimal resource usage on the same hardware. The
  apps that are required to be stretched out will
  be placed on a system where they can grow.
• Through Kubernetes, you can automate rolling out
  updates across a cluster and roll back if updates
  break.

Deployment of Pre-configured applications with
Helm charts

• Package managers are essential in helping users
  from the inconvenience of manually installing
  configuring an application. Package managers are
  helpful in scenarios when an app has multiple
  external dependencies. In Kubernetes, many
  software apps must run as a cluster of
  interdependent containers.
• Hence, it is recommended to use Helm as the
  package manager for Kubernetes. Helm helps
  illustrate through charts how to run an app as a
  cluster of containers inside Kubernetes.

• Helm allows you to create your charts from
  scratch. It plays a vital role, especially when
  you have built a custom app that must be deployed
  internally. However, if you are using a trendy
  application having a typical deployment pattern,
  it means someone has already made a Helm chart
  for it might have published it in the Artifact
  Hub.
• You can access Helm charts from
  the Kubeapps.com directory.

Simplification of storage management other
application-related resources

• Containers are entrenched, which means the code
  data you will put into them wont be suspected to
  change. However, apps need a state for dealing
  with external storage volumes.
• Kubernetes have the latest abstractions, allowing
  containers apps to deal with external storage
  in the same decoupled manner as other resources.
  You can access several common kinds of external
  storage like Amazon EBS volumes plain old NFS
  shares via Kubernetes storage drivers, also
  called volumes.
• Containers often need secret credentials like API
  keys service passwords for hardcoding into a
  container. Kubernetes overcomes this by providing
  robust security for handling secrets through its
  mechanism.

Functional in the hybrid multi-cloud
environments

• For any cloud computing user, it is a boon to run
  any app in any cloud environment or a mix of
  public private cloud. Kubernetes applications
  allow you to run apps in any cloud and
  multi-cloud environments. You can run apps in a
  hybrid cloud environment. It helps in taking
  maximum advantage of specific features of
  individual clouds.

Kubernetes vs. Mesos

• Kubernetes is one of the top application
  platforms in the market and faces competition
  from other application platforms. One such
  application platform that gives tough competition
  to Kubernetes is Mesos.
• Mesos is an Apache project and an open-source
  project for managing computer clusters. Apache
  Mesos played a crucial role in the Google Borg
  project. Mesos has been available in the market
  for a longer time than Kubernetes.
• Mesos offers container orchestration services
  like Kubernetes. However, it is more of a cloud
  operating system that synchronizes containerized
  and non-containerized components, allowing you to
  deploy various application types. You can run
  several application platforms in Mesos, including
  Kubernetes.

• Mesos is more straightforward to set up than
  Kubernetes, provided it supports your networking
  storage requirements.
• To summarize, Kubernetes is the ideal choice over
  Mesos for organizations looking to reap benefits
  from 100 open-source add-ons integration given
  by the Kubernetes community.

Relation between Kubernetes Google

• Kubernetes gained massive success popularity in
  the market when Google open-sourced Kubernetes in
  2014. Kubernetes originated from Googles
  Internal Technology, Borg.
• Kubernetes was developed to improve the
  performance of large-scale production workloads.
  Kubernetes was built as a standalone technology,
  which will serve as a flexible option for the
  open-source community.
• In 2014, Google donated Kubernetes as a seed
  technology to the Cloud Native Computing
  Foundation (CNCF), a sub-foundation of the Linux
  Foundation.
• Google is one of the largest donors of the CNCF,
  contributing 3 million every year as donations.
  Kubernetes has benefitted massively from Google
  and has become the pre-eminent open-source
  application platform.

Conclusion

• Kubernetes have unparalleled advantages that we
  mentioned in the blog, and it is also better than
  Mesos if you are looking to benefit from 100
  open-source add-ons.
• In the last couple of years, Kubernetes has
  incredibly benefitted engineering team
  performance, improved resource efficiency,
  helped the end users of companies.
• Kubernetes is right now in the safest hands with
  the Linux Foundation. It has received tremendous
  support from open-source contributors.
• Calidad Infotech is one of the top 10 DevOps
  services providers in India, and we utilize the
  Kubernetes tool for providing DevOps services.
