Hi all!
I have a couple of months to create and deploy a small cluster for running docker containers.
The cluster will consist of 3 master nodes and some workers. When it is ready, it will consist of about 15 servers.
I have little experience with Docker (managing some containers on my home server), I have spent the last 4 or 5 weeks studying and testing with Kubernetes and I think it’s a little overkill for what it’s going to take. You run the risk of adding unnecessary complexity.
I am seeing that instead Docker Swarm seems easier to set up and manage.
To consider that I will be on my own to manage it.
What do you think?
Thanks!
Thanks for the reply!
I also have a background as Linux Sysadmin but barely a couple of years.
I have managed to get a Kubernets cluster up and running but I have difficult setting up containers. The Classic “whoami” works flawless by Traefik for example, but doing the same for Portainer seems like impossibile for me right now, going crazy :D
I’m i choosing a difficult path? Is it possibile to have a good K8s cluster running nice without traefik?
Thanks!
I use ingress-ngnix for all my ingress controllers, I’ve only messed with Traefik a bit in Kubernetes and it felt like it was fighting me the whole time.
Nice to know that I’m not the only one having this experience
