minus-squaretofu@lemmy.nocturnal.gardenOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agoI answered no since it mentions Swarm but I wasn’t sure either
minus-squarewabassolinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoOh lol I thought you were the author of the survey.
minus-squaremlg@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month ago“No” – everyone using compose to orchestrate software deployments spoiler Yes it is, and there’s a age old joke about docker being used for configuration management, which doesn’t require a container system.
minus-squarepaequ2@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoI said yes. Then it asks what platform you use and I clicked “Docker”.
minus-squarermrf@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoIt asks this regardless of whether you say you use orchestration or not. I would say that docker compose, used as intended, is not a container orchestration platform as it provides no automated scaling or resiliency across nodes
