So what is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes is open source software that allows you to deploy and manage containerized applications at scale. And, containerization is defined as a form of operating system virtualization, through which applications are run in isolated user spaces called containers, all using the same shared operating system (OS). So a container is essentially a fully packaged and portable computing environment.

Now that we’ve understood was Kubernetes is, let’s see why it’s called a microservice. Microservices are also known as the microservice architecture, is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of services that are easy to maintain and test, loosely coupled, independently deployable and organized around business capabilities.
