Why Kubernetes
Understand the control loop and when Kubernetes is worth the complexity.
What you will be able to do
- You declare desired state in YAML.
- Controllers continuously reconcile drift.
- The control plane stores state in etcd.
- Start with managed Kubernetes or a simple platform.
In plain English
Kubernetes is a declarative system: you describe the desired state and controllers reconcile reality toward it. It shines when you have many services, need self-healing and want portable deployments. It is overkill for one small app.
