## Kubernetes

Running an application in a single container alone doesn’t leverage the full power of containerization. One of the major strengths of using containers is the ease of scaling container instances up and down to meet demands, known as horizontal scaling .

Orchestration platforms automate the deployment and scaling of multiple containers. Kubernetes is one of the most popular platforms of this type, and the platform you will be using. Up next, you will learn some basic Kubernetes concepts and terminology so you’ll be ready to use container orchestration in your project.
