This document discusses different approaches to orchestrating Docker containers, including composition tools like Docker Compose and Fig, schedulers like Mesos and Kubernetes, and PaaS platforms. It notes that Docker Compose works well for development but has limitations for production. Mesos is introduced as an Apache project that abstracts resources away from machines, enabling fault-tolerant and elastic distributed systems. Key aspects of Mesos include its architecture with masters and slaves, the use of resource offers, and frameworks like Marathon for deploying apps.
