Docker Swarm vs Kubernetes

A Comparative Analysis
Architecture

• - Docker Swarm:
• - Simpler and tightly integrated with Docker.
• - Swarm Manager and Worker Nodes.
• - Overlay networking for communication
between services.
• - Kubernetes:
• - Complex and modular architecture.
• - API Server, Scheduler, Controller, etcd.
Orchestration and Scheduling

• - Docker Swarm:
• - Basic task scheduling.
• - Supports rolling updates, no built-in
rollback.
• - Simple service discovery and load
balancing.
• - Kubernetes:
• - Advanced scheduling with affinity, taints.
Scaling

• - Docker Swarm:
• - Manual scaling, lacks auto-scaling.
• - Suitable for small to medium-sized clusters.
• - Kubernetes:
• - Auto-scaling (pods and cluster-level).
• - Designed for large-scale, production
environments with thousands of nodes.
Networking

• - Docker Swarm:
• - Uses Docker's overlay network for services.
• - Built-in load balancing.
• - mTLS for securing communication.
• - Kubernetes:
• - Flexible networking model with plugins.
• - Advanced ingress management.
• - Network policies for fine-grained control.
Ecosystem & Extensibility

• - Docker Swarm:
• - Limited ecosystem and extensibility.
• - Simple, Docker-focused.
• - Kubernetes:
• - Vast ecosystem with third-party tools
(Helm, Prometheus, Istio).
• - Highly extensible with CRDs and Operators.
Logging & Monitoring

• - Docker Swarm:
• - Basic logging with Docker logs.
• - External tools (ELK) needed for complex
monitoring.
• - Kubernetes:
• - Built-in logging integration (Fluentd, etc.).
• - Supports monitoring with Prometheus and
Grafana.

Security Comparison
• Docker Swarm vs Kubernetes: Security Aspects
• Docker Swarm:
– mTLS (Mutual TLS): Built-in mutual TLS encryption
for securing communication.
– RBAC: Basic authorization model, lacks native
RBAC support.
– Secret Management: Basic support for securely
storing sensitive data.
– Network Policies: Limited support for fine-grained
network control.
