As more organizations move to the cloud, the need for efficient deployment and management of applications has become critical. Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

A virtual machine (VM) is a software emulation of a physical computer that can run its own operating system and applications.

Each virtual machine runs its own operating system and applications, completely isolated from other virtual machines running on the same physical server.

Kubernetes is designed specifically for deploying and managing containerized applications, while virtual machines are designed for running entire operating systems and applications.
