Introduction of Kubernetes YugabyteDB orchestration

Kubernetes has become the industry standard for container orchestration, providing a powerful platform for managing and scaling applications. YugabyteDB, a distributed SQL database, integrates seamlessly with Kubernetes to deliver high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability for modern applications. This guide explores how Kubernetes can be used to orchestrate YugabyteDB, focusing on deploying, managing, and scaling a YugabyteDB cluster in a Kubernetes environment.

Prerequisites 

• Basic knowledge of Kubernetes concepts such as Pods, Services, Deployments, and StatefulSets.
• Familiarity with YugabyteDB architecture and basic SQL/NoSQL concepts.
• Experience with containerization and Docker.
• A working knowledge of YAML configuration files and Helm charts.
• Basic understanding of cloud environments and networking.
