Container Orchestration Basics

Containers revolutionized how we deploy applications, but managing them at scale requires orchestration.

Understanding Kubernetes

Kubernetes (K8s) is the industry standard for container orchestration.

Core Concepts

  • Services: Stable network endpoints
  • Deployments: Declarative updates
  • ConfigMaps: Configuration management
  • Why Orchestration Matters

    As your application grows, you need:

  • Automatic scaling
  • Self-healing capabilities
  • Load balancing
  • Rolling updates
  • Service discovery
