kubernetes/kubernetes

Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts. Developed by Google and the community, Kubernetes provides fundamental mechanisms for deploying, maintaining, and scaling applications. Based on a decade and a half of experience running production workloads at scale using Google’s Borg system, Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). To get started with Kubernetes, check out the documentation on kubernetes.io or take a free course on Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes. For those interested in contributing, the community repository contains all the necessary information. To build Kubernetes from source, ensure you have a working Go or Docker environment. For support, refer to the troubleshooting guide or reach out through various communication channels. The Kubernetes community holds regular meetings, and there are numerous user case studies showcasing its adoption by organizations across industries. Kubernetes is governed by a framework of principles, values, policies, and processes, with the Kubernetes Community and Kubernetes Steering Committee overseeing its governance. The Kubernetes Enhancements repo provides information about Kubernetes releases and feature tracking.
