Kubernetes: Architecture and Components
With containers now scattered across dozens or hundreds of machines, who decides which one runs where, restarts it when it dies, or scales it up under load? That's the exact job Kubernetes was built for — let's map out what's actually inside a cluster.
Basic Linux Terminology

Physical Servers and Their Limits
What does a physical server actually look like, and why can't we just keep deploying more onto the same one?
Virtual Machine
Let's see how the Virtual Machine solves the physical server's "one machine, one environment" problem, and the downsides of this approach.
