Abstract (EN): While a wide range of resources is available on orchestration techniques and best practices for containerized software systems, many are not documented clearly or in detail. This complicates the process of selecting the most suitable methods for various usage scenarios. To address this gap, we documented a set of orchestration patterns. This paper reports the results of a focus group conducted during the EuroPLoP 2024 conference, where we aimed to obtain feedback on that group of patterns and on a wider pattern map we outlined. We also aimed to identify container orchestration patterns that have not yet been documented. We found that participants knew most of the patterns we included on the pattern map. Additionally, one of the practices mentioned by the participants (Node Balancing) was previously documented as a pattern by us with the name of Service Balancing. Finally, we found important insights into container orchestration patterns, expanding our pattern map to include eight new proto-patterns.
