You can assume that you get a portable environment to easily run your application. You can easily manage the container on your own (operations like starting, stopping, monitoring, etc.). Why Kubernetes? Suppose, you have a requirement for running 10 different applications (microservices) ~ 10 containers. In case you need to scale each application for high availability, you create 2 replicas for each app ~ 2 * 10 = 20 containers. Now you have to manage 20 containers. Would you be able to manage 20 containers on your own? (20 is just an example, there could be more based on the requirement). It would be difficult, for sure. Orchestration A Container Orchestration tool or framework can help you in such situations. It can help you automate all the deployment/management overhead. One such Container Orchestration tool is Ku
