Docker Swarm vs. Kubernetes [Feature & Use Case Comparison]

What's this blog post about?

Docker Swarm and Kubernetes are both container orchestration tools that enable high availability for workloads by allowing scaling of container replicas across clusters of physical compute nodes. While Docker Swarm is simpler to set up and manage, Kubernetes offers more advanced features such as auto-scaling, robust networking support, and better integration with cloud providers. The choice between the two depends on specific use cases and requirements. For smaller teams and apps that use Docker, Docker Swarm may be a suitable choice due to its simplicity and integration with Docker. However, for larger, more complex deployments or organizations requiring advanced customization and automation features, Kubernetes might be more appropriate.
