Kubernetes

DevOps

Runs most of the internet's containers, but respect the learning curve — nobody accidentally becomes good at YAML manifests.

Other products from DevOps

The de facto IaC standard — declarative HCL and a provider ecosystem so broad you'll rarely hit something it can't provision.

IaC in real programming languages instead of a bespoke DSL — good if hand-writing HCL makes you twitchy.

Agentless config management over plain SSH — playbooks read like English until you need a loop inside a loop.

The package manager Kubernetes never shipped with — turns sprawling YAML into charts you can actually version and roll back.
