Updated May 24, 2026
Short answer
Kubernetes orchestrates containerized PHP applications with automated scaling, resilience, deployment management, and service discovery.
Deep explanation
Modern enterprise PHP systems increasingly run on Kubernetes because infrastructure complexity at scale becomes impossible to manage manually.
Kubernetes abstracts distributed infrastructure into declarative resources.
Core Kubernetes concepts:
- Pods
Smallest deployable unit. Typically contains:
- PHP-FPM container
- Nginx sidecar
- monitoring agents
- Deployments
Manage:
- rolling updates
- rollback strategies
- replica counts
- version transitions
- Services
Provide stable networking abstraction. Enable:
- load balancing
- service discovery
- internal routing
