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.
Kubernetes all the way. The Pod definitions look a little different from compose files, and the networking is a little strange at first, but it’s just better in every way.
For one, you don’t get any of the dumb compromises that Docker Swarm has, and the industry has standardized on Kubernetes, so you’ll have much more options with Kubernetes.
