I'm curious as to your thoughts around Swarm.
My concern around Swarm is around the Docker corporation, which appears to be struggling.
As a competitor, we have Nomad, but with the recent IBM acquisition, I'm concerned about Nomad's future.
- notpushkin 2y agoI do have some concerns about Docker Inc. and Mirantis (which now owns Docker Swarm I believe), yeah. Swarm is pretty mature though, and while I don't think it's going anywhere soon, I don't think we'll get any more core features anytime soon. For Lunni, my plan is to add support for another orchestrator while keeping the developer experience of just working with docker-compose.yml. I really didn't want to do K8s, but given it's essentially an open standard now, it should be a safer bet than Nomad. I guess we'll see when I can get to it!
- ForHackernews 2y agoIBM bought Nomad? That's disappointing to hear. Nomad was always much better than k8s, sad that it never got the same kind of traction or mindshare.
- imtringued 2y agoMy gripe with nomad was that it didn't have init containers. You were basically forced to either have an endlessly growing job specification file or put consul-template in every single container image.
