An important metric that is used to evaluate the success in meeting an objective. KPIs should be "SMART" (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound).
Knowledge Management#

Knowledge Transfer#
The process of moving knowledge from one part of the organization to another (e.g., from Development to Operations, or from a vendor to a client).
Known Error#
A problem that has been analyzed and has not yet been resolved. Not all known errors are fixed immediately; some may have a workaround, while others may be accepted as permanent limitations due to cost/risk.
Kubernetes#
Kubernetes is a portable, extensible, open source platform for managing containerized workloads and services, that facilitates both declarative configuration and automation. It creates an abstraction layer over hardware infrastructure, scheduling containers across a cluster of machines.
