Containerization and orchestration
Containerization:
Containerization is a method of packaging applications and their dependencies into isolated, self-contained units that can be easily deployed and managed. Containers are lightweight, portable, and can be quickly deployed across multiple environments using a single image. This allows for better scalability, agility, and portability of applications. Containers also provide consistent environments for applications regardless of where they are deployed, helping to reduce the complexity of managing multiple applications across different environments.
Orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes):
Orchestration is the process of automating the deployment and management of containerized applications. Orchestration tools, such as Docker and Kubernetes, provide the ability to quickly and efficiently deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications. Docker is a containerization platform that enables developers to create, deploy, and manage applications in a secure, portable environment. Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform that provides a system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Kubernetes enables developers to easily deploy, manage, and scale applications across multiple cloud environments. Both Docker and Kubernetes provide powerful tools for automating the deployment and management of containerized applications.
