Kubernetes aka K8s, is an open-source container orchestration system for automating software deployment, scaling, and management. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes is also a portable, extensible platform for managing containerised workloads and services that facilitates both declarative configuration and automation, allowing you to run distributed systems resiliently with scaling and failover for your application. You can think of KUBERNETES as the conductor that manages everything in an orchestra managing everything from the drums to the trumpets etc. In this tutorial you will learn how to install KUBERNETES on LINUX UBUNTU 20.04 LTS in the cloud on Amazon Web Services. You will learn how to create a LINUX UBUNTU instance on AWS lightsail, how to connect to the instance via SSH and how to install the actual KUBERNETES software.
