Container orchestration automates the deployment, scaling, networking, and management of containerized applications. Kubernetes is the dominant platform, but understanding the broader ecosystem (Helm, Kustomize, operators, service mesh) is essential for production deployments. This skill is foundational for modern cloud-native development and is consistently among the highest-paid DevOps/platform engineering competencies.
