- Purpose: Manages multi-container Docker applications.
- Usage: Best for defining and managing services in a single Docker host environment. It simplifies container orchestration for small-scale deployments.
- Interaction:
- Ansible can automate Docker Compose deployments.
- Terraform can provision the infrastructure, and Docker Compose can deploy containers on that infrastructure.
- Kubernetes is more suited for large-scale, multi-node deployments compared to Docker Compose, which handles only single-node orchestration.
