Is Swarm at EOL?

DevOps and Docker Talk: Cloud Native Interviews and Tooling

I've been a big fan of Swarm since it was launched over a decade ago and I've made multiple courses on it that still sell. But, we recently got some news out of Mirantis that might be bad news. So I talked about it last week on my live stream.
