Aperçu
Kubernetes is a quality open source container management software, supported by an active community of developers and users, and is widely used by many large organisations around the world, including Google, IBM, Microsoft and AWS. Kubernetes scores well on most of the QSOS criteria and sub-criteria, with a few weaknesses such as the complexity of the contribution process and reliance on Google copyrights.
Description
Kubernetes is an open-source container management system designed to automate the deployment, scalability and management of application containers. It enables developers to easily deploy and manage their code across multiple machines, while guaranteeing high availability and fault tolerance.
Fonctionnalités
Kubernetes lets you manage and deploy containers efficiently and reliably, and supports a number of advanced features, such as clustered container deployment, automatic container restart in the event of a crash, container status and configuration management, etc.
Interopérabilité
Kubernetes is designed to be easily integrated with other tools and technologies. It offers numerous tools and APIs for integration with other software, as well as the ability to develop plugins and extensions to extend its functionality.
Performance
Kupernetes offers good performance thanks to its resource management and container deployment features. However, there can be performance losses in the event of heavy load or configuration problems.

Qualité du code
The Kubernetes code is well organised and documented, making it easy to understand and maintain. However, given the complexity of the software and the number of features it offers, it can be difficult for new contributors to find their way around and understand all the details of how it works.
Maintenance
Updating Kubernetes can be difficult, especially for large installations. It is recommended that you follow update best practices and test updates before applying them in production.
Kubernetes is a very active project with frequent updates and stable versions released regularly.
Support
Kubernetes is a very popular open source project with a very active community supported by a large number of contributors. There are many online forums, conferences and events dedicated to Kubernetes where users can ask questions and get help.

Licence et documentation
LICENSING:
Kubernetes uses the Apache 2.0 license, which is a permissive open source license that allows the software to be modified and distributed without restrictions.
Kubernetes complies with the obligations of the Apache 2.0 licence, but it can be difficult to know which obligations are attached to each component of the software.
DOCUMENTATION:
Kubernetes documentation is very comprehensive and up-to-date. It covers all aspects of the software, with detailed guides for installation, use and configuration. However, there are a few parts of the documentation that are a little difficult to understand and could be improved.
