There are many reasons why Kubernetes is a popular container runtime platform for distributed applications. One of these reasons is the portability and flexibility that it provides to IT architects. However, the difficulties of service discovery, infrastructure reliability, and security are known challenges that result from these benefits. From challenges, opportunities are created, and many tools have risen to mitigate common problems faced by teams that benefit from containerized applications

Horizontally scalable data stores like Elasticsearch , Cassandra , and CockroachDB distribute their data across multiple nodes using techniques like consistent hashing. As nodes are added or removed, the data is reshuffled to ensure that the load is spread evenly across the new set of nodes. When deployed on bare-metal clusters or cloud VMs, database administrators are responsible for adding and removing nodes in a clustered system, planning the changes at times of low load to minimize disruptio
