Kubernetes

A Kubernetes cluster consists of Nodes (similar to servers). Nodes run Pods, which 
are collections of Docker containers. Containers in a Pod share the same network.
Deployment is a Kubernetes object responsible for launching and maintaining pods.
Services objects allow pods to communicate with other pods.
