The document discusses different platforms for deploying microservices using containers including Docker, Kubernetes, AWS ECS, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, OpenShift, and Fabric8. Docker allows deploying containers but does not provide orchestration capabilities. Kubernetes provides orchestration of containers across clusters and can be deployed on-premises or on cloud providers. AWS ECS and Elastic Beanstalk integrate Docker containers with AWS but lack portability. OpenShift is a distribution of Kubernetes that can be used to deploy and manage containerized applications. Fabric8 builds upon Docker and Kubernetes to provide a full Platform as a Service with DevOps capabilities.
