Once you have several containerized modules, the next problem is to specify how they should work together and how they should be operated. Here the orchestration frameworks like Kubernetes and Docker Swarm play an important role. From my perpective it looks like Kubernetes has a big momentum here. Google Cloud has had a Kubernetes service for years and the other cloud providers are hard at work producing similar solutions.

Interesting, there is a company in Stockholm, called Informator, which gives a one-day Kubernetes course: https://informator.se/utbildningar/devops/devops-docker-aws-and-kubernetes

Maybe they'd like to come to KTH?

I agree with @GoranPaues that Kubernetes is the way to go. Google launches ~4 billion containers every week for their internal infrastructure so they know very well the job...

Probably is possible to contact even Google itself for some training. Tricky thing with orchestration is that it's a very high layer which requires a lot of knowledge on the lower levels.

+1 for Kubernetes. We recommend Kelsey Hightower´s excellent introduction "Kubernetes the Hard Way", available on gihub https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way
