> Well, "won" in quotes. I am not a k8s fanboy or anything, I simply observe that all the major cloud providers are offering managed k8s services that have superseded their own proprietary container-type offerings. For better or worse that's where the momentum is. If you wanted to containerize your stack right now, k8s then pick one of the big 3, seems like a safe bet. kubernetes got released more than a year earlier. And it wasn't until 2016 that people actually started to take docker-swarm seriously. Thats a two year headstart... docker-swarm would've needed several really impactful feature to offset that. It didn't really.
The only real upsite is how easy it is to install and maintain. But that's hardly important with pretty cheap hosted solutions around (at least cheap in comparison to hiring several SRE to maintain the cluster). But thats just my opinion as a user. |

Indeed - something like AKS can get you up and running very quickly, whereas as recently as 6 months ago unless you had a k8s wizard-guru on staff, there was no point in even trying to go it alone, esp. not into Production.
It also suggests that the skill set of the on-prem k8s expert will decline in demand over time, there will be less demand for people who can set it up from scratch on bare metal. We shall see!
