Docker Swarm Exceeds Kubernetes Performance at Scale

I'd like to see a comparison with Nomad, which supports more than just Docker, can host 1000 nodes (and has been able to do so for a while) and is very simple. Hashicorp has some really cool technology.

Twitter has been running Mesos in production for years (yes, plural), from what I understand.

Mesos appears to be the only "proven" and "mature" platform at scale. I am surprised it was not also evaluated.

(though, container spin-up time is not a metric I particularly care about)

This was a garbage test, not real world use case that any customer actually cares about. Mesos and the Mesosphere DCOS blow both Swarm and Kubernetes out of the water with production workloads w.r.t. scale, resiliency, recovery, etc. Things operators actually care about.

Are container scheduler performance benchmarks the new DB performance benchmarks?
