Docker and Kubernetes provide tools for deploying and managing applications in containers. Docker allows packaging applications into containers that can be run on any Linux machine. Kubernetes provides a platform for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups related containers that make up an application into logical units called pods and provides mechanisms for service discovery, load balancing, and configuration management across a cluster. Many cloud providers now offer managed Kubernetes services to deploy and run containerized applications on their infrastructure.
