Comment by Siddarthan Sarumathi Pandian on "Kubernetes or Docker Swarm? Why?"

Docker swarm is relatively new and not really fit for production, IMHO. Take a look at their support issues on GitHub, it just doesn't work. I think Docker Swarm will be in a good shape, probably six months from now.

Kubertnetes (along with Google Container Engine) is extremely good, having been around the block for a while.

My favourite Orchestrator however has to be DC/OS https://mesosphere.com/product/ (it takes a while to get started, but once you have the hang of it, you really have control of things and it hardly ever fails). Their support community on slack is online all the time and they help you out, always!

If you do not really want to deal with all the orchestration manually, go with AWS'S ECS (It's extremely easy to use, are you already using it?)

Thanks, man. Your answer was complete! The problem with ECS that because is not available in Brazil yet. But if the orchestration it's a very complex way probably, I will ignore the problems with latency and start at ECS. Have you one opinion to help me? The latency in Brazil is 30ms out of here the minimum will be around 100ms.

@luizstacio If you're just starting out, I would say ignore the latency! I live in India and all my machines are in the us-west-1 region. Isn't Brazil just a tad south to the US? :) Perhaps ask someone else about reducing latency, I don't really have an idea about it.

Hi @spsiddarthan , I had an eye on Mesosphere stuff for a little while, but never gave it a try. (ie, it looks great, but always overkilled for my use-cases, or at least I thought so). Do you have some documentation to get started, especially in an AWS context. Or some online training. I'd be curious to get into it, but never had the opportunity yet

github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/… - Microsoft has come up with a very good tutorial. It's a little but hard to set it up, at first. But, do not give up. This is how I learnt DC/OS. Unfortunately, I cannot help you in an AWS context. Reach out to DC/OS guys on Slack though, they will send you in the right direction.
