Treats a cluster of machines as a single deployment and manages containers

  • Apache Mesos
  • Docker Swarm mode - only Docker containers
  • Kubernetes

Container Orchestration Framework/Platform#

  • Marathon + DC/OS - uses Apache Mesos (Can manage a Kubernetes cluster)
  • OpenShift - uses Kubernetes
  • Rancher - uses Kubernetes
  • Kubernetes “vanilla” - installed from the official repos is also a platform

Why are people doing OpenShift OKD vs Kubernetes. Kubernetes is an upstream to OKD.

There are a lot of articles and information overload but what you really want is simplification
