Question

A small team manually starts and stops containers across a fleet of five servers. As traffic grows, they struggle to keep applications running when a server crashes, to distribute load evenly, and to roll out new versions without downtime. They are evaluating whether to adopt a container orchestrator like Kubernetes. Which capability best explains why orchestration would solve their core problem?
