@lmika Except: "the first thing to do is detail the partsā€¦". I visited the link hoping to find out what the heck a Kubernetes is since @Manton and @danielpunkass keep mentioning them on Core Intuitionā€¦

@Miraz Ah, I guess the post assumes a more technical audience. Sorry about that. Good opportunity for a blog post though. šŸ¤”

@Miraz Imagine you can conjure up a server with some magic words. You have a need for many servers to talk together for a project. Kubernetes will help you coordinate uttering those magic incantations in the right order so you end up with everything working together properly.

@Miraz The general term for what Kubernetes does is ā€œcontainer orchestration.ā€ If you think of a container as a ā€œvirtual serverā€ (bending terminology here for simplicity) then you start to see how it fits together.

For more details, see this, from Red Hat and this, from DZone.

@lmika Thank you! I took it as a challenge to summarize in a micro-sized post. Using magic as a metaphor feels a bit like cheating, but anything that aids understanding is fair game.
