Kubernetes - Container Orchestration
Kubernetes Experts - Container Orchestration Architects
Kubernetes is container orchestration. The platform manages containers across clusters—deploy, scale, heal. You define what you want, Kubernetes figures out how. We've built Kubernetes solutions that handle traffic spikes, self-heal failures, scale automatically. The declarative model means you describe desired state, Kubernetes makes it happen. Kubernetes isn't simple—there's a learning curve—but if you need to run containers at scale, Kubernetes is the standard.
