Container Orchestration
Container orchestration is a big topic that has moved to the forefront of the discussion as the cloud computing industry has evolved. This trend results in a whole new group of technologies used to build, run, deploy, and manage cloud-based applications, and, by doing so, they prefer a microservices-based approach to building their platforms.
It is noteworthy that container applications have already emerged as the best choice to run microservices application architecture. Containers are already reporting a high success rate in migrating workloads to AWS and Azure.
While containers help increase developer productivity, orchestration tools offer many benefits to organizations seeking to optimize their DevOps and operations investments.
Benefits of container orchestration:
- Efficient resource management
- Seamless scaling of services
- High availability
- Low operational overhead at scale
- A declarative model for most orchestration tools, reducing friction for more autonomous management
- Operations-style Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) but manageable like Platform as a Service (PaaS)
- Consistent operating experience across on-premises and public cloud providers
