Kubernetes vs Docker, PaaS, and Traditional Deployment Tools for AI Apps
Summary

Kubernetes dominates AI deployment with native GPU scheduling and autoscaling, but its operational complexity pushes teams toward PaaS options like Cloud Run for simpler workloads. Docker Swarm and traditional VMs remain relevant for smaller-scale or predictable AI apps, though they lack the ecosystem integrations (e.g., Kubeflow) that Kubernetes provides.
