Kubernetes or Swarm?

Both are container orchestrators with solid platform and vendor backing. Swarm is easier to deploy and manage than kubernetes. But Kubernetes has more feature and flexibility.

Advantages of Swarm is this orchestrator comes with Docker, single vendor container platform and easy to deploy and manage. Swarm run anywhere Docker does like : local, cloud, datacenter. Swarm is secured by default, so we don’t need extra process to setting its security. It is fit for small team with small system.

Advantages of Kubernetes is Clouds will deploy/manage Kubernetes for us. Infrastructure vendor also making their own distributions of Kubernetes. Not like swarm, Kubernetes can cover wides set of use cases.
