It asks this regardless of whether you say you use orchestration or not. I would say that docker compose, used as intended, is not a container orchestration platform as it provides no automated scaling or resiliency across nodes

I guess it depends on what "orchestration" means to you... ๐Ÿค”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestration_%28computing%29

In system administration, orchestration is the automated configuration, coordination, deployment, development, and management of computer systems and software.

Docker compose pretty much seems to check every one of these boxes.
