Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform for deploying and scaling applications.
Definition
Kubernetes (K8s) is the industry-standard open-source container orchestration platform originally developed at Google. It automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. For AI/GPU workloads, Kubernetes is extended with: (1) NVIDIA GPU Operator — manages GPU drivers and device plugins, (2) NVIDIA DCGM — GPU monitoring, (3) Volcano/Kueue — batch job scheduling, (4) Kubeflow — ML workflows on K8s. Harch Corp provides managed Kubernetes clusters with GPU support, pre-configured for AI workloads.
