02/16/2023, 2:16 PMDo you swarm because you still believe it has a future. It looks like you were right! ( https://docs.docker.com/engine/release-notes/23.0/ ) The current release contains long awaited experimental support for SwarmKit cluster volumes and new jobs for stack deploy. There are other features for swarm also. It obviously the commitment to support swarm is holding true. Oh, below here is a link to Bret Fisher's Awesome Swarm repo to collect a list of great swarm links for resources.

02/20/2023, 3:39 PMIn my personal experience, Docker Swarm provides the lowest barrier of entry and ease of use to move to containerized applications. k8 is robust, but much more complex. Orchestration tools like Portainer and Rancher make k8 easier to work with, though. I like the way that swarm is native to the Docker daemon, though.
