# Paving The Way To Orchestration - Pete Wilcock

With containers having firmly established themselves as the mode de jour for deploying microservices, the next step is the magical orchestration using Kubernetes/Mesos/Swarm et al. But let's back up a bit and discuss how you start to go from your traditional host-based configuration management deployment solution and package it up into containers to start with. Pete will talk about some of the things you need to consider as you move towards that ultimate goal - or do you even need to?

Pete is the DevOps Lead at Sumdog, a game-based learning platform designed to motivate children to work on maths, reading and writing and help close the attainment gap in primary and secondary education worldwide.
