What is Container Orchestration Software for VMware Cloud?

Container orchestration software is a platform that automates the deployment, management, scaling, and networking of containers in a distributed environment. These tools help manage the complexities of containerized applications by ensuring containers are running efficiently, scaled appropriately, and able to communicate with each other. The most popular container orchestration software uses tools like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or Apache Mesos, providing features such as load balancing, automated container provisioning, self-healing, and monitoring. These tools are essential for managing large-scale containerized applications and microservices, ensuring high availability, performance, and resilience.

    Canonical Juju
    Better operators for enterprise apps with a full application graph and declarative integration for both Kubernetes and legacy estate. Juju operator integration allows us to keep each operator as simple as possible, then compose them to create rich application graph topologies that support complex scenarios with a simple, consistent experience and much less YAML. The UNIX philosophy of ‘doing one thing well’ applies to large-scale operations code too, and the benefits of clarity and reuse are exactly the same. Small is beautiful. Juju allows you to adopt the operator pattern for your entire estate, including legacy apps. Model-driven operations dramatically reduce maintenance and operations costs for traditional workloads without re-platforming to K8s. Once charmed, legacy apps become multi-cloud ready, too. The Juju Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) uniquely supports both container and machine-based apps, with seamless integration between them.
