Kubernetes
Kubernetes (often shortened to k8s) is an open-source container orchestrator, created at Google based on the internal experience with Borg and handed over to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) in 2015.

It automates the deployment, scaling, resilience and networking of containerised applications on a cluster of machines. You declare the desired state (how many replicas, what resources, which services to expose); the control plane continuously reconciles the actual state towards that desired state.
Kubernetes has become the de-facto standard for cloud-native deployment, available as a managed service on every major cloud (EKS, GKE, AKS) and on European providers (OVH, Scaleway, Clever Cloud).
