If the host running them goes down, your stand-alone container is gone, and there is no scalability for stand-alone containers, you need more capacity. There's no easy way to get it. Decoupling of stand-alone containers is difficult. Decoupling is about not having a relation with specific servers, while stand-alone containers always run on a specific server. And that's why we need orchestration. So, container orchestration offers a platform to run containers on top of a cloud native environment. In cloud native, that means that we don't have a relation with the server, we run on the cloud. Orchestration allows for connecting multiple containers to applications that consists of multiple containers, and that is the microservices. So, in a microservice, as we have discussed before, all the different application…
