Kubernetes Alternatives

Kubernetes is described as 'Open source orchestration system for Docker containers' and is a popular Virtualization tool in the network & admin category. There are more than 50 alternatives to Kubernetes, not only websites but also apps for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Windows, Mac and Self-Hosted apps. The best Kubernetes alternative is Heroku. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try virt-manager or Vagrant. Other great sites and apps similar to Kubernetes are OpenShift, Rancher, Docker Swarm and Apache Mesos.

    Comments about Cycle.io as an Alternative to Kubernetes

    DevOps has become far too complex. From an ever-growing landscape of open source projects to the cloud services built to manage them, organizations are now suffering under the weight of too much technical debt and upkeep. Technologies, like Kubernetes, adopted with good intentions now stifle innovation more than they accelerate it.

    Most companies don’t require a majority of the features and capabilities that come with platforms like Kubernetes. By staying hyper-focused time and prioritizing quality over quantity, the Cycle platform is able to provide a solid and stable foundation for companies of all sizes without massively increasing technical debt or requiring additional teams to manage it.
