About
Docker is an open-source platform that enables developers to package, distribute, and run applications in lightweight, portable containers that include all required dependencies.
It provides a client-server architecture with a daemon and REST API, supports container lifecycle management including building, shipping, and running images, and allows multiple isolated containers to run on a single host with shared OS resources.
Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source container orchestration system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications across clusters of machines.
It provides horizontal and vertical autoscaling, automated rollouts and rollbacks of application updates, service discovery and built-in load balancing, storage orchestration with persistent volumes, and self-healing capabilities.
