What is Container Orchestration?

Container orchestration refers to the automated management and coordination of containerized applications across clusters of machines. It includes tasks like deploying, scaling, networking, and monitoring containers to ensure that applications run smoothly and efficiently, especially in complex, dynamic environments where many containers operate simultaneously.

Container orchestration automatically provisions, deploys, scales, and manages containerized applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. Developers can implement container orchestration anywhere containers are, allowing them to automate the life cycle management of containers.

Container orchestration automates the deployment, management, scaling, and networking of containers across the cluster. It is focused on managing the life cycle of containers.

Enterprises that need to deploy and manage hundreds or thousands of Linux® containers and hosts can benefit from container orchestration.

Container orchestration is used to automate the following tasks at scale:

• Configuring and scheduling of containers
• Provisioning and deployment of containers
• Redundancy and availability of containers
• Scaling up or removing containers to spread…
