Docker Swarm vs. Mesos vs. Kubernetes

Docker Swarm, Mesos, and Kubernetes are cluster management solutions, each with pros and cons. Docker Swarm is easiest to set up and integrate due to its flexible API, but offers limited customization. Kubernetes is highly versatile with a large developer community but requires more resources. Mesos is best for large systems with maximum redundancy. For medium-scale systems, Kubernetes provides reliability but struggles with single pods and requires a larger IT staff, while Docker Swarm scales easily but is limited to around 50,000 containers. The best solution depends on factors like application needs and infrastructure size.

Docker Swarm vs. Mesos vs.

Kubernetes
Docker Swarm, Mesos, and Kubernetes all shine with cluster management, but each has
its pros and cons. See how they compare and which one would work best for you.

Finding the right cluster management solution that fits your enterprise�s
individual needs can be painful. At present, the opinionated designs and lack of a
universal standard mean that no platform supports all cluster managers
simultaneously, and that means you�re going to have to choose.

The two biggest differences between the big three include their learning curves and
scalability. For ease-of-use, Docker Swarm leads the pack with its �zero to dev�
quick setup feature. The flexibility of the Docker API means it�s easy to integrate
and also allows you to use other tools such as bespoke scripts or Compose at the
cost of custom interfaces and complex scheduling.

Swarm: Easy to integrate and set up, flexible API, but limited customization.
Kubernetes: Highly versatile, large open-source dev community, but more expensive.
Mesos: Best for large systems and designed for maximum redundancy.
Both Kubernetes and Mesos are more versatile on customization but are much less
user-friendly. If you�re integrating or changing over to one of them, you�ll have
to start your applications over from scratch, and if your IT team isn�t big enough
to handle the workload, you�re in trouble.

Regarding scalability and resilience, Mesos is best for companies that already run
hundreds or thousands of hosts, and has been tested (in simulation) to run up to
50,000 nodes. Both Kubernetes and Swarm are limited to 1,000 nodes (and roughly
50,000 containers) and are pushing to improve those numbers, but in the meantime,
Mesos is your go-to for large-scale data solutions used by companies like Twitter.

Swarm: Great value and easily scalable for small to medium systems.
Kubernetes: Best for medium-scale, highly redundant systems, but requires a larger
IT staff.
Mesos: The most stable platform, but overly complex for small-scale systems under
10-20 nodes.
For medium-scale enterprises, Kubernetes shines with its reliability and fault
tolerance in multi-host clusters but struggles with single pods and is generally a
more expensive solution. The mixture of both small and large interest groups ensure
new road-mapped features won�t lean heavily in one direction, and the number of new
companies cropping up to develop software plugins means that you�ll have the newest
and best security options. However, Kubernetes is known to have problems with AWS
coverage, and that�s a deal breaker for many.

There�s no way to know on day one which of the big three is objectively best for
every enterprise. A measure of experimentation is needed to discover which solution
meets your needs and still gives you as many wants as you can afford. However,
depending on how your applications work, how many of them there are, and how you
manage that data, the above benchmarks can help to narrow down your choices.

To some degree, Swarm, Mesos, and Kubernetes all provide a level of blanket support
to enterprises of all sizes, but the skill and head count of your IT staff will
determine how much you can optimize your cluster manager to achieve the best fit.
