As far as I understand, this is 'only' a UI layer on top of Docker and Docker Swarm. So this doesn't tackle any of the problems which Kubernetes (or Docker Swarm, for that matter) would, like scheduling and service discovery. Two very different things, really.

We are adding "tasks or jobs" in Feb/March timeframe, which will allow you to schedule any portainer task (such as scaling up or down a service). Swarmmode really does make service discovery a lot simpler, no need for Consul etc.

That's great to hear, I hope the best for the project! I meant 'scheduling' in the cluster management sense (which containers run in which nodes), though.
