Kubernetes vs. Docker: It's Not an Either/Or Question

Learn more about Kubernetes → ibm.biz/BdPMfd
Check out IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service → ibm.biz/BdPMfD
Although it is a common misconception, Kubernetes and Docker are not opposing technologies. In fact, they actually complement one another. Moving to scale with Docker alone poses many challenges, and Kubernetes tackles those challenges that emerge with large Docker-based deployments.
In this lightboarding video, Sai Vennam goes through the misconceptions around the Kubernetes vs. Docker question and outlines the key advantages of Docker and Kubernetes when used together.

I love your way to explain with complex technologies to be simple and easy to understand.

[@fisouz]

You're a very good presenter. Make the most out of it!

[@IBMTechnology]

Hi Filipi, thanks for the reply. Yes Sai is a great presenter and we have another one coming out featuring him soon.

[@frankparth8888]

Please do more videos! You're really great at presenting complex tech!

[@luisluiscunha]

Indeed!

I don't usually find this about a lot of videos, even IBM videos ... this was EXCELLENT. nice job young man!

[@usnoozeyuloosey]

I am very grateful for this education. I like that IBM is doing these simple lessons that you clearly understand well for those new to the industry. Thank you

[@maithriashokan]

Thank you! This lesson helped me understand that Kubernetes and Docker aren't necessarily competitors, but work, when need be, perfectly together, bringing out the best features in each other. You explained really well.

[@IBMTechnology]

Thanks for the feedback, Maithri! 😀

[@nijnij3988]

Great video! Really, you're an amazing teacher. Thank you!

[@maxkossatz7926]

Great video; I really enjoyed it, but the question isn't Kubernetes VS. Docker (not comparable in that manner, as you said yourself) but rather Kubernetes VS. Docker Swarm.

[@r0tt13]

agreed.. published on oct 16, 2018? swarm should be compared not just a docker host.

[@IBMTechnology]

Hi Max, thanks for watching and your comment! While we don't have a video on the subject (yet), Kubernetes vs. Docker Swarm is absolutely an important discussion. We've covered it here: www.ibm.com/blogs/bluemix/2018/10/docker-swarm-vs-kubernetes-a-comparison/

He is flipping the video.

Lol. He is using lightboard technology. He is writing on glass. In post-processing stage it's flipped horizontally.

[@abuwilliams7228]

Just love these videos. I am really loving these videos. Thank you for sharing

[@durgaprasadbehera9916]

The things you explained like if one node goes down then it'll automatically restart it. I believe these features are already there in Docker Swarm. I do agree that Kubernetes has some extra features though.

[@justinli7052]

great video. explained a complex concept in a simple and easy to understand way.

[@TheJFMR]

well explained, straight to the point, now I understand the difference between docker and kubernetes

Is Kubernetes can scale Vertically or Horizontally ? Is that Auto scaling can be done via a Load balancer externally by a Public loud services like Azure , AWS etc ? Please share your inputs .

[@edbouhl3100]

When you consider what is happening at an atomic level, it’s amazing any of this actually works! And if AIs do start writing their own improved code that can take better advantage of the atomic level mechanics , it won’t take long until we have no idea how any of it works. And at that point, magic will have appeared in the world.

[@RedMageGaming]

Just because we know how it works now doesnt make it any less magic.

Are the property and the keywords such as services, build, ports etc in docker-compose yml file reserved keywords or can we change it to other names aswell.

Hi Suyog! Kubernetes doesn't use docker-compose files, but to answer your question, yes those are reserved properties. --Sai

Can anyone help to explain what does it mean by ‘moving to scale’, does it mean the app or system grows up to a certain high level or scale? Thanks!
