About
Kubernetes (K8s) is the industry-standard open-source platform for orchestrating containerized applications at scale. It automates deployment, scaling, load balancing, self-healing, and rolling updates across clusters of machines — whether running in the cloud, on-premises, or in hybrid environments. More than 60% of large enterprises now run Kubernetes in production, and it has become the default infrastructure layer for cloud-native application deployments.
For dotCMS users running containerized deployments, Kubernetes provides the orchestration layer that keeps dotCMS instances resilient and responsive under changing loads. It handles auto-scaling during traffic spikes, distributes workloads across nodes, and automatically restarts failed containers — all without manual intervention. Combined with Docker images and Helm charts, Kubernetes gives DevOps teams a production-grade pathway to run dotCMS with enterprise reliability and operational governance.
