Containerization and orchestration

This section dives deeper into the dynamic duo (containerization and orchestration), exploring the strengths and challenges of containerizing and orchestrating your applications to achieve agile, efficient, and resilient deployments. Get ready to witness the magic of containerized applications taking center stage!

Containerization

Traditionally, Docker has been the dominant containerization platform. Containerization stands out as a promising option, offering lightweight and efficient container runtime capabilities while maintaining the core functionalities of Docker Engine. Its streamlined architecture enhances performance and security, making it an attractive choice.

Another notable alternative is CRI-O, an open source container runtime built on containers. It excels in lightweightness and flexibility, further reducing overhead and improving overall efficiency. Additionally, CRI-O enjoys strong support from the Kubernetes community, making...
