Kubernetes is an open-source platform for deploying and managing containerized applications at scale. Google provides the open-source Kubernetes container orchestration software.

Some of the key features of Kubernetes for container orchestration include:

• Autoscaling, replication, and recovery of containers
• Intracontainer communication, such as IP sharing
• A single entity—a pod—for creating and managing multiple containers
• A container resource usage and performance analysis agent
• Network pluggable architecture
• Load balancing
• Health check service
