  “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.

  I put 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… 🤔

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestration_(computing)

      In system administration, orchestration is the automated configuration, coordination, deployment, development, and management of computer systems and software.

      Docker compose pretty much seems to check every one of these boxes.
