The Vision: a community-managed set of integrated tools that let you create a featureful cloud on hardware you control.
The Reality: a bunch of python scripts everyone forks.. committee politics...frustration
OpenStack is a great example of going "community" before the problem is well understood or there is a solution people trust.
It's basically a tire fire at this point and most of the community participants are market losers.
- Rapzid 10y agoSubstitute Python for bash and I get the same sense from Kubernetes.. I'm not sure it's fair to say "before the problem is well understood... But maybe. Whatever Google had going on internally Kubernetes is very much figuring it out along the way at almost every level. If you are wanting to use on AWS then you have kops, kube-up, hyperkube, protokube; a dizzying, un-approachable and interconnected ecosystem of launch scripts/programs. Very strange interop decisions with AWS, but hard to fault because it's darn near one person trying to manage all AWS integrations.
- bechampion 10y agothe annoying and stupid modularity of it ...
- 72deluxe 10y agoWhat alternatives are there?
- karma_vaccum123 10y agoAWS, Azure or GCE....or if you insist on your own hw, just what spit and bailing wire you minimally require... at least you will own and understand it.
- hueving 10y agoThose are not alternatives. They require you to run your software on someone else's computer.
