The Role of Kubernetes in DevOps – Use Cases & Other Tools

This article explores the benefits of Kubernetes DevOps strategies and how it contributes to DevOps best practices such as CI/CD, GitOps, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestrator that automates deployment, scaling, and operation of production apps. It enhances DevOps practices by providing a platform that automates key app development, deployment, and maintenance tasks. Key benefits include scalability, declarative IaC, rolling updates, support for both development and production use cases, an extensible platform, cross-discipline collaboration, self-service infrastructure, and integration with other DevOps tools like CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, observability solutions, and more.
