- Resource quotas and security policies enforcement
- Extensibility through Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs)
Pros
- Provides a standardized way to define and manage containerized applications
- Facilitates automation, scalability, and robust deployment strategies
- Enables infrastructure as code practices for improved reproducibility
- Rich ecosystem with extensive tools and community support
- Supports complex deployment scenarios and high availability
Cons
- Learning curve can be steep for newcomers
