How Kubernetes establishes communication between Pods
Kubernetes provides a feature called service discovery. It gives containers their own IP addresses and a single DNS name and can load-balance across them. Services are responsible for communication between pods. You can see in architecture where serviceIP is actually a key component for the service discovery. It consists of DNS mapping with Pod IP(iptables). […]

Docker: A New way to Deploy the Application
Introduction: In this post we will focus on understanding the containerization with Docker. Containerization with Docker: Deployment of an application is a tedious job. Only a single application need’s to be deployed on a single physical machine. Virtualization made its possible to deploy different applications on a single machine. Virtualization is one of the important […]
