In a simpler world, all Kubernetes deployments would host just a single tenant — meaning only one workload or application runs on the entire Kubernetes environment. In the real world, it’s common to have multi-tenant Kubernetes deployments. In a multi-tenant deployment, multiple workloads share the same underlying Kubernetes infrastructure.

Kubernetes orchestrates containers reliably at scale while abstracting the underlying infrastructure. Unlike Virtual Machines, this helps developers separate the workloads from the complexities of the infrastructure. Kubernetes is ideal for CI/CD automation because it offers many built-in capabilities that makes application deployment standardized and reusable, improves developer productivity, and speeds up the adoption of cloud-native
