Frequently Asked Questions


Kubernetes is a portable, extensible open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services, that facilitates both declarative configuration and automation. It provides a container-centric management environment. It orchestrates computing, networking, and storage infrastructure on behalf of user workloads. This provides much of the simplicity of Platform as a Service (PaaS) with the flexibility of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and enables portability across infrastructure providers.


CircleCI allows you to interact with Kubernetes services in your pipelines using orbs. Orbs are packages of parameterized CircleCI configuration defining reusable commands, executors, and jobs. Our catalog of pre-built Kubernetes orbs are created in-house and by our partners to make getting started with Kubernetes and CircleCI easier than ever.
