Abstract: As the cloud services and container based micro-services are starting to get the production workload within enterprise IT infrastructures the need for application portability and effective orchestration across various virtualized, containerized, hardware and legacy platforms is getting apparent. With application systems spawning multiple platforms the network functions as routers, load balancers or firewalls are becoming integral part of production application stacks. In this study, we provide a comparison of state-of-the-art orchestration tools. The main goal of the work is to create PoC environment that can test execution of sample application architecture model at various deployment scenarios: hybrid multi-cloud and cloud-container deployment setups.
