Orchestration

Infra & Ops På svenska → Updated: 2026-05-23

Automated management of many containers/services — scheduling, health checks, restarts, scaling.

Kubernetes dominates. Alternatives: Docker Swarm (simpler, less popular), Nomad (HashiCorp), AWS ECS. Different from a "container runtime" (Docker, containerd) which just runs one container.
