Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source container orchestration platform designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It ensures high availability, fault tolerance, and seamless workload distribution across a cluster of machines.

Features of Kubernetes:

• Automated container deployment, scaling, and management.
• Load balancing and service discovery for efficient traffic distribution.
• Self-healing capabilities to restart failed containers and reschedule workloads.
• Declarative configuration and infrastructure as code with YAML manifests.

To check the installed Kubernetes version, run: kubectl version --client.
