I'm not super familiar with Capistrano, but you can provision systems and databases with Fabric. I'm still very doubtful of the utility of these more heavyweight technologies relative to the simpler ones for all but a very small subset of organizations. To me, it reeks of people trying to make simple things much more complicated. I haven't used Kubernetes. I tried docker and never understood why people would use it over an ordinary VM and some reusable deployment scripts.
- gtaylor 10y agoKubernetes isn't just about deploying. It comes with central config store, secrets store, service discovery, load balancing, routing/ingress, health checks, rolling updates for your software, auto-scaling, a powerful storage volume system, and a bunch of other things that you don't have to do a crappy job reinventing.
- duaneb 10y agoIt doesn't make deployment easier, per se. It gives you sane, scalable ways to solve deployment, credentials, logging, autoscaling, infrastructure provisioning, etc etc so you don't have to solve them yourself. Overall I'd say it doesn't solve anything that was unsolved before, but it solves a common problem in a palatable way.
