Is using Docker Compose considered orchestration?
"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.No
I said yes. Then it asks what platform you use and I clicked "Docker".
It 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
I guess it depends on what "orchestration" means to you... 🤔

Docker compose pretty much seems to check every one of these boxes.
Eh fair enough
I answered no since it mentions Swarm but I wasn't sure either
Oh lol I thought you were the author of the survey.
