What Kubernetes Actually Solves

Kubernetes is often expected to solve every DevOps problem.

It does not.

Kubernetes solves orchestration problems for containerized applications at scale.

What Kubernetes Solves

Scheduling
Kubernetes decides where containers should run based on available resources.

Self-healing
Failed containers are restarted automatically.

Scaling
Applications can scale horizontally based on demand.

Desired state management
Kubernetes continuously reconciles the running system with the declared configuration.

What Kubernetes Does Not Solve

Poor application architecture

Broken CI/CD pipelines

Lack of observability

Security misconfigurations

Kubernetes amplifies system behavior.
It does not correct poor foundations.

InfraForgeLabs - DevOpsMind focuses on teaching these boundaries clearly.

provides a toolkit to generate Kubernetes YAMLs and other DevOps templates, but it assumes these concepts are already understood.
