Containerization and orchestration and centralized logging and monitoring

Containerization and orchestration and centralized logging and monitoring are two critical components in the infrastructure of microservices-based applications. They play pivotal roles in ensuring the efficient deployment, management, and monitoring of microservices.

We’ll start with containerization and orchestration.

Containerization and orchestration

Containerization involves packaging an application and its dependencies into a standardized unit called a container.

Orchestration refers to the process of automatically managing containerized applications. It involves deploying, scaling, load balancing, and maintaining containers across a cluster of machines. Kubernetes is the most popular container orchestration platform, but others, such as Docker Swarm and Apache Mesos, also exist.

Here’s how containerization and orchestration benefit microservices:
