Kubernetes, often referred to as K8s, is an open-source container orchestration platform that significantly simplifies the deployment, scaling, and management of application containers across clusters of hosts. Originally designed by Google, it is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

Kubernetes provides a robust framework for running distributed systems resiliently, enabling them to scale and fail-over automatically. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery.

In the realm of database management, many companies are increasingly adopting Kubernetes for deploying Database as a Service (DBaaS) solutions, with PostgreSQL being a popular choice. Integrating PostgreSQL within Kubernetes environments allows these companies to leverage the scalability and management efficiencies of Kubernetes, while benefiting from the advanced features and reliability of PostgreSQL as a database system.
