Great question! Here are some best practices I've learned for deploying and managing containerized microservices on HN.

I've found using Kubernetes has helped immensely with orchestrating our containerized microservices. Any thoughts on that?

Kubernetes is a great choice for container orchestration. It allows for a lot of flexibility and scalability.

For Kubernetes users, I would recommend checking out the Cluster Autoscaler and the Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler for managing resources.

Those are great tools for managing K8s resources. Additionally, I would add the Kubernetes Namespace resource to help with resource isolation and access control.

Yep, the Kubernetes Namespace resource is a must-have for managing multiple environments and teams within the same cluster. Don't forget about RBAC policies for access control!

Absolutely. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is crucial for managing permissions at scale. It ensures that users only have access to the resources they need, which can help prevent accidents and security breaches.

We've been using Docker Swarm for deploying and managing our containerized microservices. It's a solid choice as well.

Another important aspect of managing containerized microservices with Docker Swarm is to use a robust and consistent CI/CD pipeline. This can help ensure that changes are properly tested, validated, and rolled out to production.

I couldn't agree more. Automated testing and validation are key to maintaining a stable, secure, and reliable system. It's also important to monitor the system constantly and have clear procedures in place for incident response and recovery.

The official Docker documentation is a good starting point, but don't forget about online courses, tutorials, and community forums. They can provide additional perspectives and insights.

I agree, the Docker documentation is an excellent starting point. However, I would add that it's also important to understand your infrastructure before diving in.
