Kubernetes Service & Kubernetes Architecture

Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Designed to handle complex, distributed systems at scale, Kubernetes provides a robust framework for running applications in production environments. At the heart of Kubernetes architecture is a set of components that coordinate to manage containers across clusters efficiently.

One of the core features is the concept of a Kubernetes service, which enables stable networking and communication between different parts of an application. There are multiple Kubernetes service types such as Cluster IP, Node Port, Load Balancer, and External Name each suited for different use cases. These services in Kubernetes simplify the way applications discover and communicate with each other, regardless of the underlying infrastructure.

With its powerful scheduling, self healing capabilities, and support for hybrid and multi cloud environments, Kubernetes is widely used across industries for automating DevOps processes, improving application reliability, and accelerating software delivery.
