Kubernetes

A system for running containers across a cluster of machines. Docker and Kubernetes work with the same container images, and the difference is scope: Docker is mainly about building those images and running containers from them on one machine, while Kubernetes decides which machine runs each container, restarts the ones that fail, and scales them with demand. It is what you reach for when Docker alone stops being enough.

I work with Kubernetes at UW-Milwaukee, where I prepared our Laravel applications for the migration onto it in 2025.
