This feels like a good video for someone who's already familiar with the concept. I have no clue what Kubernetes is and still don't after watching the video.

So "orchestrator" makes you think of "orchestra", thanks for making such a leap, I could not have done it alone!

[mohammadhashemi]

I have been watching tutorials for Kubernetes and absolutely no one can teach as easy as you do guys, I'm impressed. Thank you so much.

I‘ve waited for a series about Kubernetes. Showcasing the Build up on a cluster on prem and in the cloud, managing Pods, making Programms Kubernetes compatible, showing how to scale right and at the same time hold the connections between the services, and best practices to scale an app

I am REALLY glad that you make such an effort for free! Thanks, Google <3

It took me a looong time to understand this. Now i do. Please next video.

In a nutshell, Kubernetes is a container-orchestrator when running specific kinds of apps called microservices, but they too find application in monoliths.

Thanks to the subtitles, I know that the guy’s name is SPEAKER 1. Keep it up, SPEAKER 👍

[ShaktiS]

Good explanation but for a beginner like me, i would want a little more informal approach in understanding,
but i admire it was a thorough explanation.

Still confused.
I understand this is not a replacement for Docker. Docker is installed ontop of Kubernetes.
1. Is Kubernetes some Google product push?
2. Is Kubernetes a replacement for other hypervisors?
3. Is Kubernetes a replacement for RanchOS?
4. What exactly is RanchOS as RanchOS and Kubernetes seem to be pushed a lot?

I hear Kubernetes a lot in my field but is it the only primary source for container management? If not, do they all work the same? Seems lately like people are learning one specific name tool but who's to say that it is the standard use? Example would be everyone and their brother spending hours learning AWS and finally getting certified. But what if the company you want to work for only runs on Azure?

I have so many questions after watching this...

Is he wearing a blazer with a perfectly matching hoodie? Is it a blazer with a built-in hoodie? Is it a hoodie with blazer lapels? I need answers!

Wanted to get into Kubernetes for a long time now just to learn how it works. Been working with Docker until now and I love it, been also told that kubernetes is even better for container health management etc.
This is legit the first video out of 30-50 that explained Kubernetes in a short time, understandable and fun. Thanks a lot!

The simplest explanation of Kubernetes ever. Take a bow!

[sidtrip]

What is containers and what it contains?

[rubyzero]

Awesome video, I've been trying to understand Kubernetes for a day now, and this made it simple and it has finally clicked. Thanks!

[MohammadSalibi]

Wonderful explanation !! Thanks a lot :)

[FutureAIDev]

What's the difference between a program and an application? Is an application an ensemble of programs working together?

[dawoodderful]

Oh that first paragraph of what Kubernetes is reminds me of the explanation that the CEO of Bitcoin provided to Conan for what Bitcoin is.

[tmusic]

I watched many videos. But yours certainly explain it in the most simple way! Keep going!
