The tech industry has to move more towards declarative systems, rather than procedural ones. Docker, Kubernetes and similar tech can auto-update in the background without any downtime. It's impossible to maintain thousands of VMs without some sort of declarative system.
- qaq 9y agoEach thing you are listing increases complexity and attack surface.
- speedplane 9y agoIt actually decreases complexity. Updating 1000 VM servers using these technologies can be made automatic. True, it provides an additional attack surface, but the gains of having everything always patched are well worth it.
- qaq 9y agoEverything does not include your actual app, so yes it's convenient but doesn't really help that much
- speedplane 9y agoI'd argue that convenience is a security feature. The easier something is to do, the fewer mistakes you or your team will make. Stand by my initial post, declarative systems will become more and more popular and will improve security.
