You don't want to log into a machine and simply run a +`docker run` or `docker-compose up`. Why not? Well, what happens if the containers die? How do you +scale across several machines? Container orchestration solves this problem. Tools like Kubernetes, +Swarm, Nomad, and ECS all help solve this problem, all in slightly different ways. + +The general idea is that you have "managers" who receive **expected state**. This state might be +"I want to run two instances of my web app and expose port 80." The managers then look at all of the +machines in the cluster and delegate work to "worker" nodes. The managers watch for changes (such as +a container quitting) and then work to make **actual state** reflect the expected state. + + +## Cloud Native Computing Foundation Projects + +The CNCF is a vendor-neutral home for various open-source projects, including Kubernetes, Prometheus, +Envoy, Linkerd, NATS, and more! You can view the [graduated and incubated projects here](https://www.cncf.io/projects/) +and the entire [CNCF Landscape here](https://landscape.cncf.io/). There are a LOT of projects to help +solve problems around monitoring, logging, security, image registries, messaging, and more! + +So, if you're new to the container landscape and cloud-native application development, welcome! Please +connect to the community, ask questions, and keep learning! We're excited to have you! |
