> Nomad is closer to Docker Swarm in simplicity and Kubernetes in terms of the feature set.

This a question I still need to google but what features does Kubernetes have that Docker Swarm needs?

Because the perceived complexity of Kubernetes just blows my mind, where Docker Swarm seems a lot more simpler for the same benefits, but my its just abstracted away?

I will say upfront im naive when it comes to container tech.

Swarm has a lot of issues. Some that are on the surface like bad networking and stemming from it scaling issues. Others are related directly to Mirantis. Company that owns docker.inc now. It neglects the swarm part of the docker, even was planning to straight up sunset swarm and move everyone to k8s. They do maintenance, and add feature or two a year which is not enough. Swarm is great for small deployments, as it only requires a docker daemon present. Otherwise you should look towards nomad/k8s/whatewer the cloud solution is.
