            <h3><a href="/docs/concepts/overview/what-is-kubernetes/">Kubernetes</a> is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.</h3>
            <p>It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes builds
            upon <a href="http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2898444">15 years of experience of running production workloads at Google</a>,
            combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.</p>

            <h4>Planet Scale</h4>
            <p>Designed on the same principles that allows Google to run billions of containers a week, Kubernetes can scale without increasing your ops team.</p>

            <div>
                <h4><a href="/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-compute-resources-container/">Automatic binpacking</a></h4>
                <p>Automatically places containers based on their resource requirements and other constraints, while not
                    sacrificing availability. Mix critical and best-effort workloads in order to drive up utilization and save even more resources.</p>
            </div>
            <div>
                <h4><a href="/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/replicationcontroller/#what-is-a-replicationcontroller">Self-healing</a></h4>
                <p>Restarts containers that fail, replaces and reschedules containers when nodes die, kills containers
                    that don't respond to your user-defined health check, and doesn't advertise them to clients until they are ready to serve.</p>
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="feature-box">
            <div>
                <h4><a href="/docs/tasks/run-application/horizontal-pod-autoscale/">Horizontal scaling</a></h4>
                <p>Scale your application up and down with a simple command, with a UI, or automatically based on CPU usage.</p>
            </div>
            <div>
                <h4><a href="/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/">Service discovery and load balancing</a></h4>
                <p>No need to modify your application to use an unfamiliar service discovery mechanism. Kubernetes gives
                    containers their own IP addresses and a single DNS name for a set of containers, and can load-balance across them.</p>
            </div>

        <div class="feature-box">
            <div>
                <h4><a href="/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/deployment/#what-is-a-deployment">Automated rollouts and rollbacks</a></h4>
                <p>Kubernetes progressively rolls out changes to your application or its configuration, while monitoring
                    application health to ensure it doesn't kill all your instances at the same time. If something goes
                    wrong, Kubernetes will rollback the change for you. Take advantage of a growing ecosystem of deployment solutions.</p>

                <p>Deploy and update secrets and application configuration without rebuilding your image and without
                    exposing secrets in your stack configuration.</p>

                such as <a href="https://cloud.google.com/storage/">GCP</a> or <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/products/storage/">AWS</a>, or a network storage system such as NFS, iSCSI,
