An Analogy to Explain Kubernetes
Kubernetes can be likened to a coach of a sports team where each player has a unique role. Just like a coach organizes players and adjusts tactics during a game, Kubernetes orchestrates different components of modern cloud-native microservices applications. These applications are modular with various moving parts that need coordination to function cohesively. Kubernetes plans, manages, scales, and ensures the smooth operation of all components, akin to how a coach guides and adapts the team during a match.
