What is Kubernetes?

In this article, we review what Kubernetes and Kubeadm are, how to install, create a cluster, and set up worker nodes using Kubeadm. If you are not yet familiar with Kubernetes, we recommend reading our article on the fundamental basics of Kubernetes.

Introduction

In this article, we will be reviewing the Chef software, how it works, and why it is useful. We will also explore how it is helpful in DevOps. And then, we will install Chef on Ubuntu 18.04. 

Introduction

This article will demonstrate how to install and configure Minikube to set up a small Kubernetes cluster. We will then examine Kubernetes in more detail to apply that knowledge to a real-world example.

Configuration management is the process by which a company or organization defines and tracks the state of its infrastructural resources. Encapsulated in those resources are both physical hardware and software. It is a means to ensure that when changes are made to a system, those changes are tracked, geared toward the ultimate predefined criteria of what state should be.

What is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes (or K8s) is an open-source container orchestration system for automating computer application deployment, scaling, and management. Kubernetes manages and runs Docker containers on numerous hosts. The project was started by Google and is supported by many companies, including Microsoft, RedHat, IBM.

What is K3s?

K3s is a lightweight version of Kubernetes. It is a highly available Kubernetes certified distribution designed for production workloads in unattended, limited resource, remote locations, or inside an IoT appliance. The developers of K3s declare that K3s is capable of almost everything that K8s can do. 

A virtual machine is a simulated computer system which runs on a physical computer. In other words, a virtual machine is a computer inside a computer. Virtual machines allocate memory, a virtual CPU, disk storage space, and a network interface. This means that we can have a Windows computer that runs multiple virtual machines composed of Ubuntu Linux, macOS, Windows 10, Solaris, and CentOS, and they will all be completely separate from our parent Windows operating system.

In this tutorial, we will be reviewing what the fundamental similarities and distinctions are between Kubernetes and Docker Swarm. Kubernetes and Docker are two of the major players in container orchestration. Both Kubernetes and Docker Swarm continue to grow in popularity as they are increasingly used by those working with container deployment, orchestration, and management. Across all vertical markets, businesses continue to find new methods of utilization and practice with more uses constantly being discovered.

Server Overview

The Server Overview in manage is the launch pad for the rest of the Manage functionality. Each active server is listed in the overview, and grouped according to the type of server it is.
