Kubernetes is designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and operation of containerized applications. With the scalability feature of Kubernetes technology, container automation processes can be implemented according to the number of concurrent users accessing them. Therefore, this research focuses on how Kubernetes as cluster management is implemented on several cloud computing platforms. Standard literature review method employing a manual search for several journals and conference proceedings. From 15 relevant studies, 5 addressed Kubernetes performance and scalability. Seven literature review addressed Kubernetes deployments. Two articles addressed Kubernetes comparison and the rest is addressed Kubernetes in IoT. Regarding the cloud computing cluster management challenges that must be overcome using Kubernetes: it is necessary to ensure that all configuration and management required for Docker containers are successfully set up on on-premises systems before deploying to the cloud or on-premises. Data from Kubernetes deployments can be leveraged to support capacity planning and design Kubernetes-based elastic applications.
