Automated Updates and Rollbacks
Kubernetes supports automated updates for your application, allowing you to deploy new versions without downtime.
- This is achieved through features like Rolling Updates, which gradually replace old pods with new ones, ensuring that your application remains available throughout the update process.
- If issues are detected after an update, Kubernetes supports rollbacks to previous versions, allowing you to quickly revert to a stable state.
Is Kubernetes a Load Balancer?
No, Kubernetes is not a load balancer. Kubernetes is an open-source platform for automating deployment, scaling, and managing containerized applications. While Kubernetes can manage and deploy load balancers as part of its services, Kubernetes itself is not a load balancer. Instead, it uses various load-balancing techniques to distribute traffic to containers within a cluster, which can include built-in load balancers or external load-balancing solutions.
