Except: “the first thing to do is detail the parts…”. I visited the link hoping to find out what the heck a Kubernetes is since @Manton and @danielpunkass keep mentioning them on Core Intuition…

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

@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.

@fgtech Ah. Thank you. 🙏

@Miraz The general term for what Kubernetes does is “container orchestration.” If you think of a container as a “virtual server” (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.

@fgtech Cool. Thanks. I suspect I now have all I need. 😆

@fgtech Great explaination. I couldn’t have come up with that.

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.
