Abstract

Container orchestration has become a fundamental aspect of modern cloud-native applications, enabling efficient automation, scaling, and management of containerized workloads. Kubernetes, as the leading open-source orchestration platform, provides robust features that facilitate container deployment and lifecycle management. However, it also introduces several complexities, including security concerns, networking challenges, and resource optimization issues. This paper explores these key challenges and identifies opportunities for automation, AI-driven optimizations, and integration with emerging technologies to enhance the scalability, efficiency, and security of Kubernetes environments. Additionally, the study reviews existing literature on Kubernetes orchestration, highlights its limitations, and outlines future directions to improve its usability and performance in diverse computing environments.
