Hi all!

I have a couple of months to create and deploy a small cluster for running docker containers.

The cluster will consist of 3 master nodes and some workers. When it is ready, it will consist of about 15 servers.

I have little experience with Docker (managing some containers on my home server), I have spent the last 4 or 5 weeks studying and testing with Kubernetes and I think it’s a little overkill for what it’s going to take. You run the risk of adding unnecessary complexity.

I am seeing that instead Docker Swarm seems easier to set up and manage.

To consider that I will be on my own to manage it.

What do you think?

Thanks!

    I honestly hate that I can’t just deploy docker compose files directly to kubernetes seamlessly, and instead have to translate them to manifests. I’d say that having to drop all of that existing configuration as well as not being able to easily copy docker-compose’s for random new software I find is the biggest blocker for me being able to actually commit to using kubernetes.
