What Is Container Orchestration? Describing In 200 Words
Container Orchestration is an automated process of managing the lifecycle of individual containers in a dynamic environment.
While containers simplify the application lifecycle but scaling hundreds of containers is difficult.
Container Orchestration is needed to automate the management.
Its functionalities include:
- Scheduling
- Deployment
- Scaling
- Load balancing
- Health monitoring
- Resource allocating

It controls the connectivity between containers while enabling users to treat the entire cluster as a single deployment.
It is responsible for assigning work to the nodes and automating tasks associated with the containers.
It works with the open-source tools like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, Apache Mesos, etc. and works in any environment that runs containers.
As per 2019 State of Cloud report, these tools show a rise in adoption from 27 percent to 48 percent.
