Kubernetes has developed to the quasi standard for container orchestration: Nearly every cloud provider provides managed Kubernetes and even Docker Enterprise uses Kubernetes.
|
|
We are running several production systems with Kubernetes and we are using it concepts like:
|
|
* "secrets" and "configmaps" to manage configurations for the applications. By updating this ressources with an automated configuration pipeline you have a great way for configuration management.
|
|
* Autoscaling of Kubernetes nodes and the usage of "horizontal pod scaling" inside Kubernetes allows elastic scaling
|
|
* The support of managing permissions with OAuth allows to secure Kubernetes with [Keycloak](/tools/keycloak.html) (SSO)
|
|
* Kubernetes extensibility and API can be used to automate and customize it. There is a growing ecosystem around extensions that add additional features.
