Kubernetes – Labels & Selectors

An open-source container management platform called Kubernetes automates the deployment, scaling, descaling, and load balancing of containers (also called a container orchestration tool). It was created by Google in Golang and has a sizable community as a result of that. Google eventually donated it to CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation). In essence, deployment is a layer of abstraction above pods. It resembles a design plan for pods.
