Kubernetes-The Evolution of Virtualization and The Deployment Of the Application On Kubernetes.

The objective of this research paper is to develop a production deployment plan for various distributions of the Kubernetes cluster through analysis and implementation. The field of cloud computing has been rapidly advancing, providing users with virtual resources in the form of SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. Virtualization is a fundamental aspect of cloud technology, where the underlying hardware is virtualized to support multiple instances of operating systems through Virtual Machines (VMs). These VMs enable users to perform tasks independently, granting full control over software installation and usage. VMs effectively address resource optimization challenges. The paper includes five sections. The initial section focuses on virtualization and containerization, along with an explanation of orchestration and automation. The second section provides an overview of Kubernetes containerization and orchestration tools and their market positioning. The third section outlines the research objectives and sets forth the production requirements that each distribution should fulfill. The fourth section details the deployment and explanation of selected Kubernetes distributions, including infrastructure design for clusters and the necessary configurations to meet production requirements. Finally, the last section evaluates and recommends a distribution for the production deployment of the Kubernetes cluster.
