No, Kubernetes doesn't come into the category of a container. Rather it's an open-source orchestrated platform that is utilized to maintain containerized workloads and services.
Instead of the fact that Kubernetes closely resembles the containers, it's still not a container. It is used to orchestrate container-based applications but is not a container itself. Kubernetes manages and orchestrates containers, like those made with Docker, to guarantee their dependable operation, smooth scaling, and high availability.
