Getting Started with Kubernetes

What this post added

This post introduces Kubernetes as an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It explains the origin of Kubernetes from Google's Borg, its benefits (portability, scalability, flexibility, productivity, open-source nature), and core concepts like Pods, Nodes, Clusters, and Services. It also details three key touchpoints between GitLab and Kubernetes: GitLab as an application that can run on Kubernetes, customers deploying applications to Kubernetes using GitLab CI/CD, and the ongoing migration of GitLab.com to a Kubernetes cluster on GCP.
