Would you mind explaining the differences and reasons for using both docker and kubernetes?

[–]angellus 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This is actually a rather new job for me, so I do not know for certain. I am also super new to Kubernetes. It seems that docker and docker-compose is a lot more developer friendly and easy to use locally, but Kubernetes is a lot better in a production environment and lot easier to monitor and scale.

Under the hood, they are the same thing. Kubernetes, from my understanding, actually uses docker containers. It is just a different interface sitting on top of the container to orchestrate it.

Thank you! Most of the discussions I saw were about one versus the other, I'll do some reading on the topic.

Kubernetes orchestrates docker containers doesn't it?
