Container as a service is a cloud-based service that allows companies to manage and deploy containers at scale. Container environments enable enterprises to quickly deploy and develop cloud-native applications that can run anywhere. This, in turn, drove the creation of cloud-based services that further automated this function.

Nodes can go away for any reason, especially in “the cloud”.
