The Ecosystem: From Containerization to Orchestration

While running a single container is simple, managing hundreds in production requires automation, which is where container orchestration comes in.

  • Container Engine: The software (e.g., Docker, containerd) that runs individual containers.‍
  • Orchestrator: The platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications across a cluster of machines. Kubernetes (K8s) is the industry standard.
  • Nexqloud offers Nexqloud Kubernetes Engine (NKE), a fully managed orchestration service that handles the complexity of cluster management, allowing you to focus on your applications.
