Containers are completely isolated run-time environments, for each component or an application. In a production environment, there will be multiple containers running for multiple components. Hence, managing containers becomes a tedious, repetitive and mundane task. The most efficient way is to automate the management of containers using a process. There comes, the concept of container orchestration.
Container orchestration is a process to automate and manage the lifecycle of containers.
Examples of Container Orchestration tools are:
<ol>
<li>Kubernetes
</li>
<li>Docker Swarm
</li>
<li>Apache Mesos
</li>
</ol>
Advantages of Container Orchestration:
<ol>
<li>Automates provisioning, scaling, and networking of containers.
</li>
<li>Ensures secured interactions between containers.
