Kubernetes Vs Swarm

Kubernetes and Docker Swarm are leading container orchestration tools, with Kubernetes offering more advanced features overall. While Docker Swarm installation is simpler, requiring just two CLI commands, Kubernetes installation is more complex but allows for greater control through its GUI interface. Kubernetes also offers more advanced capabilities for auto-scaling, rolling upgrades and rollbacks, built-in logging and monitoring. However, Docker Swarm provides simpler load balancing and allows sharing volumes between any containers.

Kubernetes vs Docker Swarm

KUBERNETES : Kubernetes vs Docker Swarm

➤ Kubernetes and Docker Swarm are leading container


orchestration tools.
➤ Installation :

Setting Up Docker Swarm is very easy. We need just Two CLI
Commands to start with Swarm.

Kubernetes Installation is complex and we need to execute
few commands to Bring up the Cluster and then define the
Environment, Network, and DashBoard.

➤ GUI :

Kubernetes have GUI, user can control the Complete
Environment from Browser, No CLI commands required.

Docker Swarm has no GUI, user need to user CLI for swarm
management.


➤ Scalability :

Both Tools scale the System efficiently. No-one win here,
Kubernetes is slightly better at maintaining the Cluster
strength, whereas Swarm is slightly faster at scaling up(5x
faster than K8s).

➤ Auto-Scaling :

The clear winner is Kubernetes. That is because, K8s are
intelligent enough to analyze your server load, and scale up or
down as per the requirement.

Docker Swarm doesn’t provide Auto-Scaling, When traffic pours
manual intervention is the only way out.


➤ Load Balancing :

Load Balancing is challenge with Kubernetes, you need to
manually configure your load balancing settings.

Load balancing is simple with Swarm because, Swarm does auto
load-balancing. There is no concept of Pods, and hence all the
containers discover each other with a network IP address.

➤ Rolling Upgrade & Roll-Back :



Kubernetes Supports the Rolling Upgrade and Auto Roll Back
if it find something is fizzy with Cluser.

Swarm supports the Rolling Upgrade but no auto Roll Back
feature is available.


➤ Data Volumes :

Kubernetes allows us to share storage volumes between
multiple containers inside the same Pod. 

Docker Swarm allows us to share storage volumes with any
other container.

➤ Logging & Monitoring :



Kubernetes provides in-built tools for logging and
monitoring.

With Swarm, you need to use third party tools like ELK.

Logging helps in quickly analyzing the logs and understanding
where the problem lies in case of a failure.

Monitoring helps the Master to constantly be aware of the
health status of nodes and the services Status.
