The problem with saying "kubectl is the new ssh" is that it is simply not true in my opinion. Something more akin to "kubectl is to controlling a cluster as ssh is to controlling a server" would be more accurate I think. The point the OP makes about "Most Developers Don’t Have Google-Scale Problems" is true, I don't think you should use Kubernetes if your app consists of just a website and a database. But do people working on such (relatively simple) apps really consider using Kubernetes?
- sidlls 8y agoYes, as part of a terrible feedback loop and resume driven development.
- geerlingguy 8y agoIMO, only if you're working on like 100+ of them. If you just maintain a website using a traditional LAMP/LEMP stack, Rails, Node.js, or something like that it still makes more sense (unless you want to be 'trendy') to stick to primitives or use more managed hosting. But if you're maintaining a fleet of independent sites, Kubernetes' scheduling can make sense, despite the inherent complexity (TBH, you're going to have a similar level of complexity managing the same kind of scale with any other tool).
