Decision brief
Containerpilot is a Go-based tool by Joyent for application autodiscovery and configuration in container environments.
Good fit when
- When integrating with the Triton Data Center ecosystem, since Containerpilot has strong ties to this environment and services like Consul that are prevalent within it.
- If your infrastructure leverages Go-based services or if you prefer tools built in Go for consistency across your stack.
Avoid when
- When your setup is heavily dependent on features not native to Containerpilot, such as advanced Kubernetes service mesh capabilities absent from this tool's feature set.
- If the MIT License or similar permissiveness is a requirement for your project, since Containerpilot is licensed under MPL-2.0 which has share-alike requirements.
