Having trouble deciding whether Kubernetes, Mesos, or Docker is the best container orchestration platform for your project? DevOps Engineers will have to invest a considerable amount of time to design and test CI/CD pipelines adapted to the chosen platform, not to mention the cumbersome process of migrating containers, establishing access control policies, as well as the countless little details involved in configuring container orchestration properly.

While it is true that Kubernetes architecture differs from Docker Swarm’s and Mesos’ in many ways, it is also true that, as container orchestration tools, all of them share most of the duties described above.

A key aspect to keep in mind though is that Docker was not created as a framework for managing containers and microservices architecture at scale.Instead,Docker was designed to streamline the development lifecycle of applications and services thought containers, which is something where it excels.

However, Kubernetes is not limited to Docker container runtime to function, it can be deployed flawlessly using RunC, cri-o, containerd, and other container runtimes.
