Docker and Kubernetes are both compelling technologies and many people are often confused Between them

Here I will explain a basic difference between docker and Kubernetes

[{"selector":"#anim-44c8224a-1e01-4602-997c-5d8b26d57415","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d12e43c3-e6d8-425f-a43c-18aea432220e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -315.51611%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Docker is an open-source tool, using which a user can manage the containers.

[{"selector":"#anim-b284b897-90f7-4522-abe8-e2225c393375","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7940b2d0-c188-4d8e-81c2-59643b6e97db","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -272.61721%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

But deploying an application as docker containers is not sufficient as docker can not scale based on the workload.

[{"selector":"#anim-e5ed8b5f-9614-417c-a3f8-0e1a38b6858e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-40be3681-9b43-4578-a551-7a4258a33e61","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -237.09538%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Kubernetes is a technology that helps us in scaling up the load based on the need.

[{"selector":"#anim-61648405-634f-4253-b0c8-4a8c55d9ff25","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-19a55adb-84f4-4b45-b078-772a9889c6ce","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -285.88734%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform that was developed by Google and later open-sourced in the year 2014.

[{"selector":"#anim-a77e3134-4e72-47e3-acfb-debfe0ce8720","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dd135286-a35e-408b-b9e7-42086390a35e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -181.83007%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Kubernetes is a also known as k8s

[{"selector":"#anim-4ec12f29-47db-4931-b615-ffa29254d05d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-592be21e-98ca-46c8-ade8-ba07fd1e40a2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -638.0758%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Using k8s, users can easily schedule, automate, manage and scale the containers.

[{"selector":"#anim-67fd4e1f-9559-4f05-bee8-9b964cb5ca03","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1b10ba32-d4ce-47d2-a9fb-b5467a7d2a2a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -281.14801%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Docker can work without k8s, but k8s need a container runtime to work.

[{"selector":"#anim-03fc9d2e-a20a-4d4a-8645-517453664b10","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e1972abb-1ed3-4a5c-ace4-2da6c0be154d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -326.167%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
