Kubernetes

A system that runs programs in containers across many servers and watches over them. It is configured declaratively: a file describes the desired state, such as “three copies of the booking service”, and controllers in a reconcile loop compare it with the actual state and fix the difference: a copy crashes, a new one is started.
