I see two reasons for this: - If you don't use google container engine (hosted kubernetes, also known as GKE), kubernetes have a reputation of being hard to set up. I am running on GKE, so I can't comment too much. - It's hard to see how all of the orchestration/docker/etc. things play together when entering the area. I expect many people hear "docker" and want to just try "docker", not being aware that there exist alternatives for some parts, some parts are more reliable that others, etc. E.g. the article we are discussing seem to be doing this.

Kubernetes definitely runs best on GKE, but projects like kops (https://github.com/kubernetes/kops https://github.com/kubernetes/kops) are making setups on AWS etc. a lot easier. You still have to deal with the other drawbacks of those platforms (slow networks, disks etc.) but that's not really a k8s issue.

> kubernetes have a reputation of being hard to set up Yeah, but there's no shortage of things wrapping Kuber (e.g. OpenShift).
