Kubernet vs OpenSwarm

Docker Swarm vs Kubernetes: What are the differences?

What is Docker Swarm? Native clustering for Docker. Turn a pool of Docker hosts into a single, virtual host. Swarm serves the standard Docker API, so any tool which already communicates with a Docker daemon can use Swarm to transparently scale to multiple hosts: Dokku, Compose, Krane, Deis, DockerUI, Shipyard, Drone, Jenkins... and, of course, the Docker client itself.

What is Kubernetes? Manage a cluster of Linux containers as a single system to accelerate Dev and simplify Ops. Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers. It handles scheduling onto nodes in a compute cluster and actively manages workloads to ensure that their state matches the users declared intentions.

Docker Swarm and Kubernetes can be primarily classified as "Container" tools.

"Docker friendly" is the top reason why over 44 developers like Docker Swarm, while over 134 developers mention "Leading docker container management solution" as the leading cause for choosing Kubernetes.

Docker Swarm and Kubernetes are both open source tools. It seems that Kubernetes with 55K GitHub stars and 19.1K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Docker Swarm with 5.63K GitHub stars and 1.11K GitHub forks.

According to the StackShare community, Kubernetes has a broader approval, being mentioned in 1046 company stacks & 1096 developers stacks; compared to Docker Swarm, which is listed in 82 company stacks and 38 developer stacks.
