If you ask around how to build a Kubernetes cluster you will get a couple of different answers. (It is after all almost the de facto standard for orchestrating containers these days.) It's usually shortened to k8s so I'm probably going to switch between the two terms going forward. If you ask what tools you need to utilize to achieve this state of bliss you shouldn't be very surprised if the name Kubernetes is uttered. (This will of course happen before considering if it really should be built that way.) If you happen to find yourself about to build a new application, and you bump into an architect they will tell you that it's very important that it needs to support a "microservices architecture".
