Summary
In this chapter, we have given you a brief introduction to the origins of Kubernetes, why it might be useful to you, what its main functionality is, and what its architecture is.
It is highly likely that once you decide to migrate your code to a more modern cloud-native approach or start using containers, you will have to work with container management systems such as Kubernetes. This chapter has given you a good idea of how they work and where you can utilize them.
Kubernetes is the most downloaded product of CNCF. What exactly cloud-native is will be addressed in the next chapter.
