Container Orchestration Fundamentals

Need for Orchestration: 

 

 Scaling applications. 

 Self-healing of workloads. 

 Load balancing. 

 Resource optimization. 

 

 

 

 Kubernetes as an Orchestration Tool: 

 

 Managing containerized workloads. 

 Scheduling containers on nodes. 

 Ensuring desired state (via Deployments, ReplicaSets). 

 

 

 

 Core Orchestration Features in Kubernetes: 

 

 Automatic scaling (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler). 

 Rolling updates and rollbacks. 

 Service discovery and networking. 

 Persistent storage management. 

 

 

 

 Workload Orchestration Concepts: 

 

 Pods as the smallest deployable unit. 

 Running multiple containers in a Pod (e.g., sidecar pattern).
