It is, but at this point it is unclear for how long Docker Swarm will be supported, see e.g. https://boxboat.com/2019/12/10/migrate-docker-swarm-to-kuber...

We are actually currently in the process of migrating from Docker Swarm to k8s and I am not 100% sure that's a good idea. We will see.

"conversations have led us to the conclusion that our customers want continued support of Swarm without an implied end date."

No matter what they claim, it's really not supported in the sense most commercial oss projects are. We finally switched off after a minor version introduced a segfault when adding nodes in certain conditions, and the issue was unfixed after 5 months.

This. Docker Swarm, and by extension Docker EE / UCP, is barely in maintenance mode. Go compare the Moby and docker projects on GitHub vs kubernetes.

To be clear, I use Docker Swarm in my home cluster due to simplicity and ease of use. Unfortunately that pattern hasn't scaled to the Enterprise.

What about HashiCorp's nomad? Seems a lot simpler to manage than k8s and is actively developed.
