# Best Container Orchestration Tools - Page 20

  *By [Adam Crivello](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/adam-crivello)*

   Container orchestration tools allow developers to deploy multiple containers for implementation within applications. These platforms help IT administrators automate the process of running instances, provisioning hosts, and linking containers. These tools assist in optimizing orchestration procedures and extending the lifecycle of applications containing multiple containers. They can also facilitate deployment, identify failed container implementations, and manage application configurations. Companies use container orchestration software to increase the scalability and functionality of applications by adding containers and connecting information about repositories and networks. They can also improve [container security](https://research.g2.com/blog/g2-on-cloud-security-conquering-container-security) by setting requirements for accessing containers and keeping components separated from one another. [Container management platforms](https://www.g2.com/categories/container-management) may include orchestration features, but many container orchestration solutions function as a complement to the management platform.

To qualify for inclusion in the Container Orchestration category, a product must:

- Allow administrators to provision hosts
- Schedule and automate container deployment
- Run instances of multiple containers
- Alert users of failed containers
