Centurion vs Docker Compose: What are the differences?
- Orchestration vs. Automation: Centurion focuses on orchestration of container deployment, scaling, and management, while Docker Compose is primarily designed for automating the deployment of multi-container applications.
- Portability: Centurion is more limited in terms of portability as it is specifically designed to work with Docker, whereas Docker Compose allows for more flexibility in terms of orchestration across different container runtimes and environments.
- Scalability: Docker Compose is better suited for small to medium-sized projects, while Centurion is developed with larger-scale projects in mind, offering more advanced scalability features and options.
- Community Support: Docker Compose benefits from a larger user base and community support, resulting in more available resources, documentation, and pre-built configurations compared to Centurion.
- Configuration Flexibility: Centurion offers more extensive configuration options and advanced features for deploying and managing containers compared to the more limited configuration capabilities of Docker Compose.
- Integration with Other Tools: Docker Compose integrates well with other DevOps tools and services, making it easier to incorporate into existing workflows, while Centurion may require more customization and setup to work seamlessly with other tools.
In Summary, the key differences between Centurion and Docker Compose lie in their focus on orchestration vs. automation, portability, scalability, community support, configuration flexibility, and integration with other tools.
Decisions about Centurion and Docker Compose

We develop rapidly with docker-compose orchestrated services, however, for production - we utilise the very best ideas that Kubernetes has to offer: SCALE! We can scale when needed, setting a maximum and minimum level of nodes for each application layer - scaling only when the load balancer needs it. This allowed us to reduce our devops costs by 40% whilst also maintaining an SLA of 99.87%.

What is Centurion?
A deployment tool for Docker, made by New Relic. Takes containers from a Docker registry and runs them on a fleet of hosts with the correct environment variables, host volume mappings, and port mappings. Supports rolling deployments out of the box, and makes it easy to ship applications to Docker servers. New Relic is using it to run their production infrastructure.
What is Docker Compose?
With Compose, you define a multi-container application in a single file, then spin your application up in a single command which does everything that needs to be done to get it running.

What are some alternatives to Centurion and Docker Compose?
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers. It handles scheduling onto nodes in a compute cluster and actively manages workloads to ensure that their state matches the users declared intentions.
Rancher
Rancher is an open source container management platform that includes full distributions of Kubernetes, Apache Mesos and Docker Swarm, and makes it simple to operate container clusters on any cloud or infrastructure platform.
Docker Swarm
Swarm serves the standard Docker API, so any tool which already communicates with a Docker daemon can use Swarm to transparently scale to multiple hosts: Dokku, Compose, Krane, Deis, DockerUI, Shipyard, Drone, Jenkins... and, of course, the Docker client itself.
Argo
Argo is an open source container-native workflow engine for getting work done on Kubernetes. Argo is implemented as a Kubernetes CRD (Custom Resource Definition).
Portainer
It is a universal container management tool. It works with Kubernetes, Docker, Docker Swarm and Azure ACI. It allows you to manage containers without needing to know platform-specific code.
