A comprehensive guide explaining Kubernetes as an open-source container orchestration platform and introducing Vultr Kubernetes Engine for managing containerized applications.
Kubernetes is an open-source platform for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It provides features like service discovery, load balancing, automated rollouts and rollbacks, self-healing, and storage orchestration, letting developers run applications reliably across clusters of machines.
The Vultr Kubernetes Engine (VKE) is a fully managed Kubernetes service that simplifies cluster operations by handling the control plane and worker nodes. VKE integrates seamlessly with Vultr’s managed services, including Vultr Load Balancers, Block Storage, and DNS, allowing you to deploy cloud-native applications at scale with predictable pricing and minimal operational overhead.
