Before this article goes into the two different forms of cloud computing, private and public cloud, it should first be clarified what the generic term is all about. Cloud computing is the term used to describe the shifting of data, systems and applications to a cloud, so that these, together with the necessary IT-based resources, are made available flexibly and on demand. This provision takes place via a network, such as the Internet. Cloud computing offers the added value that installations on local computers are superfluous for the user.

Cloud Computing: What is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is currently on everyone’s lips. But many IT departments find it difficult to set up their own concept. Instead, people are increasingly using ready-made cloud applications. But what exactly is Kubernetes and what benefits does it offer? This article is intended to provide answers to these and other questions. What is Kubernetes? As a Google project from 2014, Kubernetes was made available as an open source project after more than 15 years of research. The portable and infinitely expandable platform is used to manage containerized workloads and services. These can not only be set up and operated better, they can also be scaled much more easily. This not only simplifies automation, but also configurations enormously. Kubernetes is so trendy because the project can be used to replace manually controlled servers with an automated version. Kubernetes not only regulates the production process, it also provides the right rhythm. In technical…
