Managing containers in a production environment can be challenging, especially when dealing with a complex application like the Payment App. Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that helps manage and automate containerized applications. It provides a scalable and robust solution for container deployment, scaling, and resource management.

With Kubernetes, you can:

  • Orchestrate Containers: Kubernetes allows you to define and manage a set of containers that make up your application. It ensures that the desired number of containers are running, and it handles scheduling and scaling based on the defined configuration.

  • Automate Container Operations: Kubernetes automates several container operations such as container health monitoring, automatic restarts, and scaling based on CPU and memory usage.

  • Manage Container Networking: Kubernetes manages container networking by assigning each container its own IP address and provides a DNS hostname for each service. This allows seamless communication between containers and services.

To manage the Payment App's containers with Kubernetes, follow these steps:

  1. Define Kubernetes Deployment Configuration: Create a Kubernetes deployment configuration file that specifies the desired number of replicas, container image details, ports to expose, and any other necessary configuration.

  2. Apply Deployment Configuration: Use the kubectl apply command to apply the deployment configuration file and create the necessary resources in Kubernetes.

Here's an example of a Kubernetes deployment configuration for the Payment App:
