Kubernetes

The RCKMS platform leverages Kubernetes to:

• Provide more granular control over both horizontal and vertical scaling of workloads.

• Enhance platform stability and resiliency through usage of container readiness gates, container probes, horizontal pod autoscaling, and other self-healing functionality offered by k8s.

• Isolate code-level faults from impacting the entire system at once by replacing monolithic applications with a microservices model.

• Hoist configuration from a per-system image basis to centralized tooling, like Rancher's config/secret maps and this documentation resource.

• Reduce the time between software updates by standardizing the deployment methodology.

• Leverage the Rolling Deployment model to achieve zero-downtime, zero-queuing deployments.
