Azure Container Service provides orchestration tools beyond just Docker. It supports Docker Swarm for container orchestration across multiple hosts using the Docker API. It also supports Kubernetes for grouping containers into pods for management across hosts. Additionally, it supports DC/OS which offers container orchestration and was built by Mesosphere offering container grouping, scheduling, and management. The document discusses the advantages of containers over VMs and various container orchestration tools available in Azure Container Service beyond just Docker.

3. Containers vs Virtual Machines
Pack many more containers on a
host machine than you can
virtual machines
Each VM is a self-contained
system in its own right, with its
own operating system and
virtualized hardware and its own
unique resources.
…result is significantly faster
deployment, much less
overhead, easier migration, faster
restart

4. Containers Advantages
Secure
Containers isolate applications
from each other and the
underlying infrastructure while
providing an added layer of
protection for the application.
Open
Docker containers are based on
open standards allowing
containers to run on all major
Linux distributions and Microsoft
OS with support for every
infrastructure.
Lightweight
Containers running on a single
machine all share the same operating
system kernel so they start instantly
and make more efficient use of RAM.

5. Orchestration
Enables the definition of simple
multi-container applications
Docker Compose
Manages and organizes Docker
containers across multiple hosts
via the same API used by a single
Docker host
Docker Swarm
Orchestration and
management solution that
actually predates Docker,
but has recently added
support for Docker into its
built-in application
framework Marathon.

and manage applications integrated

by Google offering container
grouping into “Pods” for
management across multiple
hosts, also supported on

11. Azure Container Service – DC/OS
1. Proven scalability
2. Fault-tolerant replicated master and slaves
using Apache ZooKeeper
3. Support for Docker-formatted containers
4. Native isolation between tasks with Linux
containers
5. Multiresource scheduling (memory, CPU,
disk, and ports)
6. Java, Python, and C++ APIs for developing
new parallel applications
7. A web UI for viewing cluster state
