Kubernetes
Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source container orchestration platform for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It handles service discovery, load balancing, automated rollouts and rollbacks, self-healing, and secret management. For AI applications, Kubernetes manages the complex infrastructure of LLM-powered services — scaling worker pods based on queue depth, managing GPU resources, and coordinating multiple services (API servers, model servers, vector databases). It is the standard for production AI deployments at scale.

Frameworks & ToolsDocker is a containerization platform that packages applications and their dependencies into portable, isolated containers that run consistently across any environment.
Containerization
InfrastructureContainerization is the process of packaging an application and all its dependencies (runtime, libraries, system tools, configuration) into a standardized, portable unit called a container.
Load Balancing
InfrastructureLoad balancing distributes incoming network traffic across multiple backend server instances to ensure no single server becomes a bottleneck, improving application availability and responsiveness.
Infrastructure as Code
InfrastructureInfrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable configuration files rather than manual processes.
