A visual introduction to Kubernetes

Kubernetes has taken over the world's datacenters. It seems like almost everyone is using it. If you're one of the few that still hasn't seen it in action, you'll enjoy this highly visual presentation of what Kubernetes is and what it does.
First, we'll explore the benefits of using Kubernetes and get to know its core concepts. Then, with the help of a small cluster of Raspberry Pi computers and lots of LED lights, we'll see how Kubernetes makes it easy to deploy and manage software, including operations like horizontal scaling, rolling upgrades, etc. To wrap up, we'll see how Kubernetes handles various hardware and network failures.
