Docker orchestration

In the world of containerization, orchestration is the process of automating deployment and managing and scaling your applications across multiple hosts. Orchestration solutions help simplify the management of containerized applications, increase availability, and improve scalability by providing a layer of abstraction that allows you to manage containers at a higher level, instead of manually managing individual containers.

Docker Swarm is a Docker-native clustering and orchestration tool that allows you to create and manage a cluster of Docker nodes, allowing users to deploy and manage Docker containers across a large number of hosts. Docker Swarm is an easy-to-use solution that comes built-in with Docker, making it a popular choice for those who are already familiar with Docker.

Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform that was originally developed by Google. Kubernetes allows you to deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications...
