Question

Accepted Answer

Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform while VMSS is a virtual machine scale set for managing VM instances.

Kubernetes is used for managing containerized applications and automating deployment, scaling, and operations.
VMSS is used for managing a group of virtual machines as a single entity for high availability and scalability.
Kubernetes provides features like self-healing, load balancing, and service discovery for containers.
VMSS allows for easy scaling of VM instances based on demand and provides fault tolerance.
Kubernetes is more suitable for microservices architecture while VMSS is more traditional for managing VMs.
Example: Running a microservices application on Kubernetes vs running a web application on VMSS.
