Kubernetes, a widely-used container orchestration tool, has traditionally been the domain of operations teams, but developers can also benefit from understanding its functionality to break down team silos. The tutorial introduces Kubernetes by explaining the anatomy of a cluster, which consists of a master node and worker nodes that house containers, and demonstrates how Kubernetes manages these components. Through practical examples, it guides users on deploying applications using YAML files and kubectl, as well as infrastructure as code tools like Pulumi, which allow developers to define infrastructure in familiar programming languages like Python, reducing reliance on YAML. The tutorial highlights the importance of developers understanding Kubernetes to facilitate better collaboration with operations teams and improve the efficiency of deployment processes.
