Model answer

Why Kubernetes

Docker packages one app; Kubernetes orchestrates many containers—scheduling, rolling deploys, service discovery, autoscaling across nodes.

  • Desired state declarations (YAML)
  • Self-heal crashed pods
  • Complexity cost—learn after plain Docker
Honest fresher line: K8s when many services; Docker Compose for class projects.
