It’s how you deploy, network, load balance, scale and maintain containerised apps. But you also need to think about the architecture of your Kubernetes infrastructure itself: how you build the platform where Kubernetes runs. Kubernetes is flexible enough to deploy almost any kind of application on almost any kind of hardware, in the cloud or elsewhere: in order to be both that generic and that powerful, it’s extremely configurable and extensible.

If you’re using cloud IaaS for your Kubernetes virtual machines or a managed cloud Kubernetes service like AKS or EKS, you can choose the appropriate instances for your VMs.

For smaller Kubernetes infrastructure, you can separate different workloads using namespaces: logical partitions that let you isolate and manage different applications, environments and projects on one cluster.
