2Why is Kubernetes considered the next-generation
application platform?
- There are several application platforms in the
modern-day world that one can use for cloud
services, DevOps services, and application
software testing. Amidst all the application
platforms, the one platform that has stood out is
Kubernetes. Kubernetes is one of the best
next-generation application platforms and will be
in trend in 2023. - In this blog, we will walk you through what
Kubernetes is, its advantages, and how it is
better than other application platforms.

3What is Kubernetes?
- Kubernetes is a prominent open-source platform
for container orchestration. Multiple
applications built out of largely self-contained
runtimes are called containers. Kubernetes allows
you to deploy manage multi-container
applications at scale. - Kubernetes is primarily used with the most
popular containerization platform Docker.
Kubernetes operates with any container system
that is in accordance with the Open Container
Initiative (OCI) standards for container image
formats runtimes. - Kubernetes can be used by anyone who wants to run
containers, whether on the public cloud,
on-premises, or both. Over the years, Kubernetes
has become a vital part of the container
revolution.

4Advantages of Kubernetes
- Kubernetes have the latest abstractions
concepts, and the learning curve for Kubernetes
is on the higher end. Kubernetes has remarkable
long-term advantages. Let us walk you through the
salient advantages of Kubernetes.

5Resource Allocation Management
- Resource allocation management is one of the
time-consuming tasks, and Kubernetes ease off
this task by managing app health, load balance,
responsiveness to user demands, hardware
resource allocation. Kubernetes saves ample time
by taking off these tasks. E.g., the apps that
dont conform to the apps health can be
automatically repaired. - Kubernetes maximizes the usage of hardware
resources, including storage I/O, memory,
network bandwidth. There are soft hard limits
on resource usage. Kubernetes clubs together
minimal resource usage on the same hardware. The
apps that are required to be stretched out will
be placed on a system where they can grow. - Through Kubernetes, you can automate rolling out
updates across a cluster and roll back if updates
break.

6Deployment of Pre-configured applications with
Helm charts
- Package managers are essential in helping users
from the inconvenience of manually installing
configuring an application. Package managers are
helpful in scenarios when an app has multiple
external dependencies. In Kubernetes, many
software apps must run as a cluster of
interdependent containers. - Hence, it is recommended to use Helm as the
package manager for Kubernetes. Helm helps
illustrate through charts how to run an app as a
cluster of containers inside Kubernetes.

7- Helm allows you to create your charts from
scratch. It plays a vital role, especially when
you have built a custom app that must be deployed
internally. However, if you are using a trendy
application having a typical deployment pattern,
it means someone has already made a Helm chart
for it might have published it in the Artifact
Hub. - You can access Helm charts from
the Kubeapps.com directory.

8Simplification of storage management other
application-related resources
- Containers are entrenched, which means the code
data you will put into them wont be suspected to
change. However, apps need a state for dealing
with external storage volumes. - Kubernetes have the latest abstractions, allowing
containers apps to deal with external storage
in the same decoupled manner as other resources.
You can access several common kinds of external
storage like Amazon EBS volumes plain old NFS
shares via Kubernetes storage drivers, also
called volumes. - Containers often need secret credentials like API
keys service passwords for hardcoding into a
container. Kubernetes overcomes this by providing
robust security for handling secrets through its
mechanism.

9Functional in the hybrid multi-cloud
environments
- For any cloud computing user, it is a boon to run
any app in any cloud environment or a mix of
public private cloud. Kubernetes applications
allow you to run apps in any cloud and
multi-cloud environments. You can run apps in a
hybrid cloud environment. It helps in taking
maximum advantage of specific features of
individual clouds.

10Kubernetes vs. Mesos
- Kubernetes is one of the top application
platforms in the market and faces competition
from other application platforms. One such
application platform that gives tough competition
to Kubernetes is Mesos. - Mesos is an Apache project and an open-source
project for managing computer clusters. Apache
Mesos played a crucial role in the Google Borg
project. Mesos has been available in the market
for a longer time than Kubernetes. - Mesos offers container orchestration services
like Kubernetes. However, it is more of a cloud
operating system that synchronizes containerized
and non-containerized components, allowing you to
deploy various application types. You can run
several application platforms in Mesos, including
Kubernetes.
https//calidadinfotech.com/
11- Mesos is more straightforward to set up than
Kubernetes, provided it supports your networking
storage requirements. - To summarize, Kubernetes is the ideal choice over
Mesos for organizations looking to reap benefits
from 100 open-source add-ons integration given
by the Kubernetes community.

12Relation between Kubernetes Google
- Kubernetes gained massive success popularity in
the market when Google open-sourced Kubernetes in
2014. Kubernetes originated from Googles
Internal Technology, Borg. - Kubernetes was developed to improve the
performance of large-scale production workloads.
Kubernetes was built as a standalone technology,
which will serve as a flexible option for the
open-source community. - In 2014, Google donated Kubernetes as a seed
technology to the Cloud Native Computing
Foundation (CNCF), a sub-foundation of the Linux
Foundation. - Google is one of the largest donors of the CNCF,
contributing 3 million every year as donations.
Kubernetes has benefitted massively from Google
and has become the pre-eminent open-source
application platform.
13Conclusion
- Kubernetes have unparalleled advantages that we
mentioned in the blog, and it is also better than
Mesos if you are looking to benefit from 100
open-source add-ons. - In the last couple of years, Kubernetes has
incredibly benefitted engineering team
performance, improved resource efficiency,
helped the end users of companies. - Kubernetes is right now in the safest hands with
the Linux Foundation. It has received tremendous
support from open-source contributors. - Calidad Infotech is one of the top 10 DevOps
services providers in India, and we utilize the
Kubernetes tool for providing DevOps services. - If you have any questions regarding
