Kubernetes is an open source system for managing [containerized applications](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/what-is-kubernetes/) across multiple hosts, providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications. The open source project is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation ([CNCF](https://www.cncf.io/about)).
