Cloud, Containers, and Kubernetes: Fundamentals for Developers

This article explains the connection between cloud computing and containerization with a focus on Docker and Kubernetes.
Linux, being open source, is used by many companies and individuals worldwide, resulting in various distributions tailored to different needs.
Cloud services enable companies to lease computing resources from providers, rather than worrying about hardware maintenance, offering flexibility and convenience.
Linux is often the preferred operating system for cloud infrastructure due to its stability, security, and cost-effectiveness, with advanced tools for remote and automated management.
