Isolated, lightweight environments that package applications with all dependencies for consistent execution across different computing environments in Kubernetes orchestration.
Containers are isolated, lightweight environments that package an application together with all its dependencies, including the code, runtime, libraries, and system tools. This ensures that the application runs consistently across different environments. In Kubernetes, containers are grouped into pods, which are the smallest deployable units. Kubernetes schedules and manages these pods across the cluster, handling networking, scaling, and lifecycle events to ensure that applications run reliably.
