It's too bad that Docker Swarm is kind of dead because that would be the simpler Kubernetes for many use cases. Why is there no community effort to reanimate or adopt the project?


Kubernetes provided a more robust api for cloud providers (the part of the API the end user of k8 doesn’t see, the part of the api that allows k8 to tell your cloud provider to create resources like load balancers, volumes, etc). Once k8 was ubiquitous, docker swarm had no chance.
