HARNESSING CONTAINER ORCHESTRATION WITH DOCKER AND KUBERNETES FOR APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT TO BUILD A SCALABLE APPLICATION

Abstract

Container orchestration has revolutionized how scalable applications can be deployed andmanaged, especially in cloud environments. This work discusses how two open-source giants incontainer orchestration, namely Docker and Kubernetes, can be merged to enhance applicationdeployment scalability. The paper further delves into best practices in deploying scalableapplications, covering the basics of containerization, Kubernetes architecture, and the interactionbetween Docker and Kubernetes. Case studies are used to illustrate how these technologies havebeen applied in practice. Moreover, the paper emphasizes the importance of future directions incontainer orchestration, inspiring the audience to think forward and innovate in this field.Keywords: Container orchestration, Docker, Kubernetes, scalable applications, cloud computing,deployment.
