I was dismayed when Docker effectively (and quietly) declared that they were no longer supporting Docker Swarm.
Docker Swarm remains far simpler to set up, run, and troubleshoot than Kubernetes.
I just can't choose it over K8s, though, knowing that it's unsupported.
- sgk284 5y agoI've hemmed and hawed over this as well, but I believe that sometimes software can be complete and stable and not need constant iteration. As long as they add security patches and don't remove it from Docker, I'll still default to Swarm. My fallback, if Swarm is ever removed, is Hashicorp's Nomad. I've only used it in a hobby capacity, but is (at face value, at least) another wonderful piece of software. I've used k8s a bunch in production (including right now at my current employer) and just can't recommend it – it's a technical distraction for most teams.
- bovermyer 5y agoI've never looked into Nomad. Your comment's gotten me interested now.
- zenlikethat 5y agoIt’s awesome. Works just as well on one node as in a cluster, and has Docker drivers and everything. Give it a whirl.
