Understanding Kubernetes architecture

So, what is Kubernetes and how does it make cloud-native development much easier?

Initially developed by Google based on many years of running Linux containers both at a basic level and at scale, Kubernetes is a system for running and managing which containers run where, coordinating large numbers of containers, and facilitating communication between containers across hosts. In addition, Kubernetes provides a common infrastructure layer that abstracts underlying infrastructure environments, such as public, private, and hybrid clouds running in virtual or physical machines.

Kubernetes creates an abstraction layer that allows the developers and operators to work collectively and helps focus on control at the service level instead of the individual container level. If containers have empowered the productivity of individual developers, Kubernetes has allowed teams to compose services out of containers. This improved coordination has enhanced...
