Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

Regarding the choice of Kubernetes environment, you can choose to cooperate with cloud manufacturers and set up an environment provided by cloud manufacturers, including Alibaba Container Service(ACK), Huawei Cloud Container Engine(CCE), Tencent Container Service(TKE), etc. You can also choose to set up a Kubernetes environment yourself. If conditional, it is recommended to choose to cooperate with cloud manufacturers, which has the advantages of high performance, high stability, and low maintenance cost.
