🆚 Kubernetes vs. VMware

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.

VMware is an enterprise-grade virtualization and cloud computing platform that separates operating systems and applications from physical hardware to create pools of shared compute, storage, and networking resources.

Its software-defined data center stack combines the vSphere hypervisor, vSAN storage, NSX networking, and Aria management, and provides vMotion live migration without downtime, Distributed Resource Scheduler load balancing, and a Kubernetes service for containers.
