Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration tool or system that is used to automate tasks such as the management, monitoring, scaling, and deployment of containerized applications.

 It is used to easily manage several containers (since it can handle grouping of containers), which provides for logical units that can be discovered and managed.

Kubernetes is an open-source container management tool that holds the responsibilities of container deployment, scaling & descaling of containers & load balancing. 

Being Google’s brainchild, it offers excellent community and works brilliantly with all the cloud providers. 

So, we can say that Kubernetes is not a containerization platform, but it is a multi-container management solution.
