Kubernetes has been widely adopted in modern software development as it offers a powerful, portable and open-source platform that automates the management of containerized applications.

[{"selector":"#anim-76acaaf2-14dc-4f26-a4a0-c1d6bd4dacb6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8d08cb7e-fda9-4bf2-bc73-55325bacce2f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 124.57690%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Kubernetes comes in two flavors: 1. Vanilla Kubernetes 2. Managed Kubernetes

[{"selector":"#anim-b788263f-bdef-4c64-ba4a-33e5a6c79c99","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8b2371ab-d517-4f01-afac-286afe406d46","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 221.81073%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Kubernetes is also sprawling, complex, and difficult to set up and configure. Kubernetes distributions that incorporate Kubernetes along with container tools, in the same sense that different vendors offer distributions of the Linux kernel and its userland.
