What is kubernetes elevator pitch

kubernetes is an opensource project based on practices and tools used at google

It gives you new set of abstractions to manage your applications Using these primitives gives you capabilities for dynamic scheduling, resource awareness as you all start to examine cloud or bring cloud like functionality into our data centers

From 10's bare metals servers in Data Centers we moved to 100's in Virutal Servers and then now to thousands in cotainers. we need to rethink the problem and build a solution that keeps in view of distributed computing, deal with complexities and nodes that can fail at any time,

Kubernetes allows you to treat your data center as one big gaint computer, comprising machines that are cheap and designed to fail any time.

we need a software on top of the machines which can deal with failures , horizontally scalable and make our lives reliable.
