Konténerorchestráció

Konténerorchestráció refers to the automated management, deployment, scaling, and networking of containerized applications. As applications become increasingly complex and distributed, managing individual containers manually becomes a significant challenge. Orchestration tools address this by providing a framework to handle the entire lifecycle of containers across a cluster of machines.

Key functionalities of container orchestration include automated deployment and scheduling, ensuring that containers are placed on available nodes within the cluster. It also handles service discovery and load balancing, allowing containers to find and communicate with each other and distributing incoming traffic efficiently. Scaling is another crucial aspect, enabling applications to automatically adjust their resource allocation based on demand, both scaling up during peak times and scaling down during periods of low activity. Health monitoring and self-healing capabilities are also integral, with orchestration systems constantly checking the status of containers and restarting or replacing unhealthy ones. Finally, it simplifies rolling updates and rollbacks, allowing for seamless deployment of new application versions and the ability to revert to previous versions if issues arise. Popular container orchestration platforms include Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and Apache Mesos.
