AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Full Course - What is Container Orchestration?

The video tutorial discusses the advantages of containers, such as their small size, quick deployment, and scalability. However, it highlights that containers alone are not sufficient for enterprise-scale applications, necessitating the use of orchestrators. Orchestrators provide essential services like load balancing, scaling, and automatic healing, ensuring resiliency and minimizing downtime. The tutorial also covers popular orchestration services, including Kubernetes, Mesos DCOS, and Docker Swarm, explaining their roles in managing containerized applications.

What is one of the main reasons containers alone are not sufficient for enterprise-scale applications?

• They require orchestrators for features like resiliency and load balancing.

• They are too large to manage efficiently.

• They are not compatible with cloud services.

• They lack built-in security features.

How do orchestrators help in managing container resiliency?

• By automatically healing and bringing up new containers when crashes occur.

• By increasing the size of each container.

• By providing manual intervention tools.

• By reducing the number of containers needed.

Which feature of orchestrators helps in minimizing downtime during deployment?

• Automatic scaling

• Versioning, deployment, and rollback

• Manual configuration

• Load balancing

Which orchestration service is described as a Google-based solution for automated deployment and management of containerized applications?

• Azure Functions

• Docker Swarm

• Mesos DCOS

• Kubernetes

What is Docker Swarm primarily used for?

• Managing clusters of Docker hosts

• Providing cloud storage solutions

• Creating virtual machines

• Developing web applications
