Eps 1: Kubernetes Operating System
The practice introduces significant security risks to the Kubernetes cluster.
Unpatched CVEs in the underlying operating system threaten the security of the entire cluster.
Combining a Linux distro with a Kubernetes distro into a Kubernetes OS simplifies Kubernetes cluster operations and improves system security and reliability.

For this reason, Kubernetes is ideal for hosting cloud native applications that require fast scaling, such as real-time data streaming via Apache Kafka or hosting a large number of containers with a data center with high - powerful - low - latency. It is an open source container orchestration platform for automating the deployment, management and scaling of applications that operate containers on clusters of hosts.
Kubernetes was built by Google, which opened it in 2014 - based on the bins the search giant operated in production.
Originally developed by Google, Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform designed to automate the deployment, scaling and management of container applications. In fact, it has established itself as the de facto standard for container orchestration and is one of the most popular open source containers in the world, supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). It is now so popular that, according to Google, it is used by more than 1.5 billion users in over 100 countries around the world.
As more and more companies move to microservices and native cloud architectures that use containers, they are looking for a strong, proven platform.
Kubernetes allows you to provide a self-service platform as a - a - service (PaaS) that creates a hardware level of abstraction for your development team. By using a combination of Docker containers, Docker Swarm, and Docker Hub, it helps developers write applications that run on these clusters.
Kubernetes is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and can be used to establish its own CaaS platform, but you are now able to build on it with a variety of other open source and commercial solutions. Basically, it is used for the use and management of clusters of container applications. It is sometimes referred to as K8s or Kube and helps you manage microservices and application architectures.
While a huge ecosystem of open source and commercial products has been built up around Docker, one tool stands out: Kubernetes, the open source container management system.
It is a container orchestrator that enables the creation of container-based applications, often referred to as microservice applications. Some people think it's the next Linux that shows how Kubernetes will become a ubiquitous platform for building and running applications.
The analogy works well when you compare Kubernetes Distro with other open source operating systems such as Ubuntu, Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and others.
Here is a list of distributions that include Kubernetes container tools, with various vendors offering a wide range of options, including Ubuntu, Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and others. Please note that this list does not include Linux distributions from other open source operating systems, but focuses on software distributions that can be run locally or as a cloud hosting option. CoreOS is an open source container - focused Linux distribution with a focus on containers.
Best known as a Linux distribution widely used in Europe, it also offers the SUSE CaaS platform. The CoreOS operating system Container Linux delivers a number of containerized components and stands out from other open source Linux distributions with its focus on containers.
The SUSE CaaS Platform is reminiscent of CoreOS Tectonic in that it combines a bare metal operating system - capable of running in a container - and a built-in one - in the image of the Linux kernel. Released in 2018, Suse Ca aS platform 3.0 has added the ability to customize the Linux kernel included, enabling multi-master functionality for the first time in the open source container world.
The big advantage of Fargate is that you don't have to worry about scaling, patching or backing up EC2 instances that run Kubernete's workloads. This means that the SUSE CaaS platform is not designed to complement or bypass Amazon EKS or Google's KubersnetES engine, but to bypass it so that you can operate containers in multiple cloud data centers. You can run Kuber in a cost-optimized cluster without having in-depth knowledge of its operations.
Kubernetes is revolutionizing the container ecosystem by simplifying the deployment of large-scale container applications, and it is one of the most popular open source container technologies.
When creating a Kubernetes-based production utilization, it is important to keep in mind the most important metrics to be monitored with the various monitoring tools discussed in this article. In this article, we will help you understand the key metrics and components that are monitored in a Kuber netes environment, and explain two open source solutions to effectively monitor your Kubersets cluster.
