A company needs to orchestrate hundreds of containers with automated scaling, self-healing, and rolling deployments. Which Azure service is designed for this?
A.Azure Container Instances
ACI runs containers quickly without orchestration — no scaling/self-healing management.
B.Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
AKS = managed Kubernetes for orchestration at scale. Correct.
C.Azure App Service
App Service can host single containers but isn't a container orchestrator.
D.Azure Virtual Machines
VMs would require building your own orchestration.
Why this answer
AKS is the managed Kubernetes service for production container orchestration at scale — scheduling, scaling, self-healing, rolling updates. Container Instances is for simple single containers without orchestration ('run one container fast' = ACI; 'orchestrate many containers' = AKS).
