Container orchestration

In the first part of this chapter, we understood the concept of containers, how they are designed, how you can prepare a service to create your own container, and how to deploy them in an Azure environment.

One of the most interesting topics with regard to containers is that they provide a technology for scaling. For example, if we need more performance on a website that is running containerized, we would just spin off an additional container to load-balance the traffic. This could even be done if we needed to scale down.
