Comparing Kubernetes with Other Container Orchestration Platforms
Feature |
Kubernetes |
Docker Swarm |
OpenShift |
Nomad |
---|---|---|---|---|
Deployment |
Container were deployed using the Kubectl CLI and all the configuration required for the containers will be mentioned in the manifests. |
Containers are deployed using docker compose file which contains all the configurations required fur the containers. |
You can deploy the containers using the manifests or openshift cli. |
HCL configuration file is required to deploy the containers. |
Scalability |
You can manage the heavy incoming traffic by scaling the pods across the multiple nodes. |
We can scale the containers but not as much as efficient as the kubernetes. |

Networking |
You can use different types of plugins to increase the flexibility. |
simple to use which makes more easy then kubernetes. |
Networking model is very much advanced. |
You can integrate the no.of plugins you want. |
Storage |
Supports multiple storage options like presistent volume claim and you can even attach the cloud based storage. |
You can use the local storage more flexibly. |
Supports local and cloud storage. |

Introduction to Kubernetes (K8S)
Kubernetes is an open-source platform that manages Docker containers in the form of a cluster. Along with the automated deployment and scaling of containers, it provides healing by automatically restarting failed containers and rescheduling them when their hosts die. This capability improves the applicationâs availability.
