We are operating a smart water purification plant called AAA. AAA has a Docker-based AI platform, and we want to build several water purification plants like this. In addition, it plans to create a headquarters that manages these water purification plants in an integrated way and build a big data platform there. Although I don't know if Ansible AWX can replace Harbor or Kubernetes among the three solutions above, I would like to know which solution is suitable for us and why. May your business go well...

Harbor Alternatives & Comparisons

What are some alternatives to Harbor?
Grizzly
Writing scalable server applications in the Java™ programming language has always been difficult. Before its advent, thread management issues made it impossible for a server to scale to thousands of users. This framework has been designed to help developers to take advantage of the Java™ NIO API.
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers. It handles scheduling onto nodes in a compute cluster and actively manages workloads to ensure that their state matches the users declared intentions.
Docker Compose
With Compose, you define a multi-container application in a single file, then spin your application up in a single command which does everything that needs to be done to get it running.
Rancher
Rancher is an open source container management platform that includes full distributions of Kubernetes, Apache Mesos and Docker Swarm, and makes it simple to operate container clusters on any cloud or infrastructure platform.
Docker Swarm
Swarm serves the standard Docker API, so any tool which already communicates with a Docker daemon can use Swarm to transparently scale to multiple hosts: Dokku, Compose, Krane, Deis, DockerUI, Shipyard, Drone, Jenkins... and, of course, the Docker client itself.
