The popular narrative around AI economics is changing. At one time, Moore’s Law conditioned us to expect that smarter, faster computing would steadily get cheaper. When it comes to AI, that expectation holds true at the unit level. Per-token costs are indeed declining. But the number of tokens consumed per task is growing exponentially, making total costs spike. The tension here is important: on paper, inference is getting cheaper.

Managing containerized applications or microservices can be difficult. It is even more demanding and prone to error if you do it manually. So, what’s the alternative? Container orchestration. Container orchestration is an automation technology that enables engineers to coordinate when containers start and stop, schedule and execute tasks, manage failovers, and perform recovery processes. The technology helps automate these tasks throughout a container’s lifecycle.
