Kubernetes: Revolutionizing Container Orchestration In Modern Cloud Infrastructure

Abstract

The rising adoption of containerized applications has transformed how developers deploy and manage software at scale. Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestration platform initially developed by Google, has emerged as the de facto standard for managing distributed container workloads. This paper presents an overview of Kubernetes' architecture, key components, and practical applications. It also evaluates its role in automating deployment, scaling, and management of applications in cloud-native environments. The study aims to highlight how Kubernetes contributes to operational efficiency, scalability, and resilience in modern IT ecosystems.
