Does anyone have a good experience to share with a hosted Kubernetes provider outside of GCE and Tectonic? I am primarily comparing using Kubernetes to alternatives such as Rancher or Nomad.
- TheIronYuppie 11y agoDisclaimer: I work at Google on Kubernetes. Do you mean GKE?
- Dangeranger 11y agoMy 'GCE' reference was to Google Container Engine with Kubernetes as the cluster manager, yes.
- jbeda 11y agoFunny story -- Google Container Engine was the obvious name for that product but the TLA for it (GCE) conflicted with Google Compute Engine. We broke the tie by deciding the TLA for Container Engine would be GKE. The 'K' is a nod toward the Kubernetes underpinnings. Google Compute Engine itself was difficult to name. There were those that were pushing for Google Compute Cluster. But I veto'd as the TLA would have been GCC or GC2. Both would have been awful. Naming is hard.
- stretchwithme 11y agoMaybe abbreviations could be more flexible with G always having to be the first letter.
- jbeda 11y agoIt gets a lot harder to name things world wide if you don't start with "Google". gmail in Germany was a lesson: http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/14/google-finally-gets-right-to-gmail-trademark-in-germany/ http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/14/google-finally-gets-right-t...
- stretchwithme 11y agoIs gmail an acronym?
- AndrewWright 11y agoWhy not go with Alphabet Cloud, or ABC?
- thesandlord 11y agoHahaha this is awesome! Unfortunately, Alphabet wasn't a thing back then.
