What is the need for Container Orchestration?

Container orchestration is basically managing the lifecycle of multiple containers, especially in large and/or dynamic environments. Developer Teams generally use it to control and automate multiple tasks such as:

• Setting up and deployment of containers
• Repetition and availability of containers
• Editing, scaling or removing containers in such a way that load is spread evenly on the host architecture
• Moving specific containers between clusters or from one host to another to maintain the balance of supply/demand in a host, or if a host expires
• Allocating resources to containers as per requirement
• Maintaining and controlling external exposure of services running in a container with the outside environment
• Load balancing of service discovery between containers
• Health monitoring of containers and hosts
• Configuration of an application in accordance with the containers running in it
