Author here. I do have a bias toward GKE but that is after trying to use everything else -- DIY, kubespray, OpenShift, Juju, Tectonic, Azure, Fargate, kops, Rancher v2 preview, kubeadm, etc. In my experience nothing (yet) has been as nice and clean as Google Cloud.

Have you tried EKS?

  Have not, was not invited to the preview. Friends behind bootkube hinted that the EKS team seamed to be heading in directions that were odd relative to upstream. Happy to try it and be pleasantly surprised!

  EKS = Amazon Kubernetes. (I had to look it up)

Curious why swarm isn't in that list. How many services / nodes are you managing? I found the docker swarm learning curve to be very sharp but plateaued super quick, maybe a month of reading docs and bug reports then I was up to speed and don't really run into day to day issues. Once your prod is setup and you've worked out all the hard decisions around stack and how to do things, getting Devs up to speed is really easy because all they need to know is how to read the docker compose reference. Even less of any issue learning everything now too because they redesigned their documentation (wording etc as well) and it's much clearer, gotchas are explained etc.

  Agreed. I absolutely love Swarm and think they have done a great job of an integrated solution. However, I'm keen to see if Swarm becomes a later on top of Kubernetes instead of a separate piece if infrastructure.

CFCR[0], née Kubo, might be worth adding to the list if you're doing rounds. Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, we work on CFCR with Google and VMware. [0] https://docs-cfcr.cfapps.io/ https://docs-cfcr.cfapps.io/

I am not sure if GKE can be directly compared with Openshift/Kops/Tectonic. One is hosted service and other is packaged software with DIY setup. Surely you are paying extra money for what you are getting.
