Kubernetes (often shortened to K8s) is a system for running and managing containerized applications automatically, especially when you have many containers across many servers.
It has a reputation for being the hardest thing in tech. I don't think it's hard. I think it's usually taught backwards — people show you all the parts before they show you the problems these parts solve. So let me give you the problem first, and the parts will explain themselves.

The most important Kubernetes concepts
A Cluster is the entire Kubernetes environment, usually consisting of multiple machines.
A Node is one machine/server in that cluster.
A Pod is Kubernetes's smallest deployable unit. Usually, a pod contains one main application container.
A Deployment says something like:
"I want 5 copies of my backend running."
Kubernetes continuously tries to make reality match that desired state. If one crashes, Kubernetes creates another.
A Service gives those pods a stable network endpoint. This matters because individual pods can constantly disappear and be recreated.
