Resource Efficiency
Kubernetes optimizes resource utilization by intelligently scheduling containers on nodes with available resources.
- It can also pack multiple containers on a single node to maximize resource usage, reducing costs and improving overall efficiency.
- Additionally, Kubernetes supports resource limits and requests, allowing you to specify the amount of CPU and memory that each container needs, ensuring fair allocation of resources across your application.
Is Kubernetes a Load Balancer?
No, Kubernetes is not a load balancer. Kubernetes is an open-source platform for automating deployment, scaling, and managing containerized applications. While Kubernetes can manage and deploy load balancers as part of its services, Kubernetes itself is not a load balancer. Instead, it uses various load-balancing techniques to distribute traffic to containers within a cluster, which can include built-in load balancers or external load-balancing solutions.
