That is what the word "Enterprise IT" means. If you ever work in a company that makes more than a million USD per year, you will find an imperfect network in a nearly unknown state, with proxies and firewalls making your life hard, and automatic reconfiguration tools/scripts/antivirus-software resetting everything to "not working" the moment you take your eyes of the config files.
People and Software who really want to make money in Enterprise need to be able to handle that somehow. If you develop software on your macbook in an environment with the complexity of a Starbucks Wifi nobody can actually use your software in Enterprise.
Btw. did I mention that Windows+Outlook+Lync is the high standard of Enterprise laptops? Forget Enterprise users if you are not developing ON Windows.
- pas 8y ago... but ... but ... no one really cares about that. k8s is targeted at startups who will do the sales dance with the big Enterprises and they'll do a SaaS that's backed by k8s managed infra. (Or the Enterprise will use k8s on their Linux servers. Maybe hosted on VMware, maybe on HyperV, maybe in Azure maybe at AWS.) k8s is a project, a lot of people find it useful. A lot of big corps have IT R&D groups (basically all Fortune 500 have), and they have their own test network. Or they test on their own rack, or on their own cloud, or on their own AWS account. I think I don't really understand what your belief with regards to k8s is, but I'm interested, so could you give some details?
