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 insufficient 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 introduces popular orchestration services like Kubernetes, Mesos DCOS, and Docker Swarm, explaining their roles in managing containerized applications.

What is one of the main advantages of using containers?

• They are small and can be quickly deployed.

• They require manual scaling.

• They are not resilient.

• They are large and complex.

Why are orchestrators necessary for managing containers in enterprise applications?

• They provide resiliency and load balancing.

• They make containers larger.

• They slow down container deployment.

• They eliminate the need for containers.

How do orchestrators help in maintaining application uptime?

• By manually restarting containers.

• By ignoring container failures.

• By automatically healing and deploying new containers.

• By shutting down all containers.

Which orchestration service is known as a data center operating system?

• Mesos DCOS

• Docker Swarm

• Kubernetes

• Azure Functions

What is the primary function of Docker Swarm?

• To replace Kubernetes.

• To manage clusters of Docker hosts.

• To eliminate the need for containers.

• To slow down container deployment.
