One solution was to run each app on a separate physical server, but this approach was too expensive and led to underutilization of resources. If multiple applications were running on a single server, for instance, one application could consume most of the resources, hampering performance of other applications. In traditional deployments, applications ran on physical servers, an approach that led to resource allocation issues. To understand the value of Kubernetes, we must first take a look back at how enterprises have deployed applications over the years. And in case you're wondering, the name "Kubernetes" originates from Greek and means helmsman or pilot. ![]() It's now under the aegis of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), which reports that Kubernetes is the most popular container management tool among large enterprises, used by 83% of respondents in a recent CNCF survey. Open-sourced by Google in 2014, Kubernetes was built based on the search giant's own experience with running containers in production. Kubernetes is a container-orchestration platform for automating deployment, scaling and operations of applications running inside the containers across clusters of hosts.
