Description |
What is Kubernetes?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.
|
What is Docker Compose?With Compose, you define a multi-container application in a single file, then spin your application up in a single command which does everything that needs to be done to get it running.
|
What is Docker Swarm?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.

It's a little bit complex to onboard, but once you grasp all the different concepts the platform is really powerful, and infrastructure stops being an issue.
Service discovery, auto-recovery, scaling and orchestration are just a few of the features you get.

How developers use Kubernetes vs Docker Compose vs Docker Swarm
-
cjsaylor uses Docker Compose
Since our production deployment makes use of the Convox platform, we use this to describe the containers to be deployed via Convox to AWS ECS.
We also use this for our local dev environment (previously used vagrant with chef).
-
Scrayos UG (haftungsbeschränkt) uses Docker Compose
Aside from our Minecraft-infrastructure, we compose it with ... Docker Compose! (kinda obious, eh .. ?) This includes for example the web-services, aswell as the monitoring and mail-infrastructure.
-
realcloudratics uses Kubernetes
Good existential question. Kubernetes is painful in the extreme - especially when combined with Ansible. The layers of indirection are truly mind altering. But hey - containers are kewl!
-
Japan Digital Design uses Kubernetes
Our developer experience system is on Kubernetes (Google Kubernetes Engine at the moment). We would like to expand our Kubernetes clusters over other Kubernetes engine.
-
sapslaj uses Docker Compose
Docker Compose is just another part of my "infrastructure as code" initiative and allows me to build isolated pieces of systems with their own volumes and networks.
-
Curabase uses Docker Compose
The core tech in ACS (Azure Container Services) we spin up a Kubernetes cluster and deploy our app into staging and production environments here.
-
Coolfront Technologies uses Docker Compose
Used in developer's environments to make it easier to manage multiple dependent technologies. (e.g. Kafka, Flink and Postgres, Redis, etc...)
-
ShareThis uses Kubernetes
Kubernetes is used for managing microclusters within our AWS infrastructure. This allows us to deploy new infrastructure in seconds.

papaver uses Kubernetes
minor experience with kubernetes. helped a client setup a kubernetes infrastructure. love the elegance of the system.
