In IT, orchestration refers to the automated execution of coordinated, interacting configurations, services, and applications within complex environments. This allows processes to run automatically, which reduces the potential for human error and increases efficiency.
Container orchestration refers to the automated management, deployment, scaling, and networking of containers in an IT system. In particular, Kubernetes is used to simplify and automate these tasks. It allows developers to efficiently manage container-based applications by providing features such as load balancing, automatic scaling, and error correction. This improves the efficiency and flexibility of IT infrastructures.
For the automatic provision and management of Kubernetes clusters and associated cloud-native applications, firstcolo offers the management platform firstkube, which facilitates the application of Kubernetes firstkube via a GUI (graphical user interface) including dashboard and orchestration service.
