Kubernetes is a portable, extensible, open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services, that facilitates both declarative configuration and automation. It has a large, rapidly growing ecosystem. Kubernetes services, support, and tools are widely available.
The name Kubernetes originates from Greek, meaning helmsman or pilot. Google open-sourced the Kubernetes project in 2014. Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience that Google has with running production workloads at scale, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
Kubernetes (commonly stylized as k8s) is an open-source container-orchestration system for automating application deployment, scaling, and management. It was originally designed by Google, and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. It aims to provide a "platform for automating deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across clusters of hosts". It works with a range of container tools, including Docker. Many cloud services offer a Kubernetes-based platform or infrastructure as a service (PaaS or IaaS) on which Kubernetes can be deployed as a platform-providing service. Many vendors also provide their own branded Kubernetes distributions. 
Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery

Building and Managing Kubernetes with Kubernetes - Xin Ma, eBay Kubernetes as a declarative and portable system can be used to do many things in different ways. At eBay we built a fleet management system based on k8s. Everything(server, subnet, OS, package and state) is declarative and can be modeled as CRDs in k8s, or referred to as a commit id in git from the objects. By running various controllers on top of these CRD objects, we use k8s to manage k8s, and the entire eBay data center. - Our system provisions hosts the same way k8s creates and manages pods. - We build k8s clusters with Salt. each host has a set of states defined in its salt CRD object. controllers pull states from git based on commit ids to apply. - We build both schedulers and deployment transactions to manage the k8s clusters for both config deployments and upgrades. This declarative, highly scalable, auto healing, and cloud native system is what we think can unify eBay’s fleet. https://sched.co/Nrm0
