i'm the only one that wished docker swarm became the standard instead of k8s?

no, wish swarm had a feature or two more, but I'm happy with how simple it is.

Swarm syntax is much better than the YAML sprawl of k8s. That said the underlying engine was pretty buggy and lack of customization for lower level components was a pain. Their whole plugin system was a great idea, but actual plugins developed by vendors ended up being very brittle. That said, yeah I'd prefer that timeline

the sens of my comment was: I would have liked that k8s looks like swarm.

I’m still using Swarm personally and agree 100%.

I’ve dealt with a fair bit of Swarm internals for https://lunni.dev/, and I’m ready to switch to k8s any moment. Don’t wanna lose Compose Spec support though, so I’ve started an IaC thingy that can map it to both k8s and Swarm resources. (Now I need to find some time for it!)
