Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. In this chapter, we will learn about the relationship between Docker and Kubernetes and set up a Kubernetes workstation.

We’ll then further explore our Kubernetes cluster by deploying a stock nginx application as well as the mynginx image we built. This will introduce us to the various capabilities of Kubernetes and get us more familiar with it.
