As someone who recently upgrade a GKE cluster with two mouse clicks, this whole post gave me a laugh. Basically an ad veiled as a blog post
- clutchdude 8y agoIt is an ad "In this episode of Kubernetes Best Practices, let’s take a look at how Google Kubernetes Engine can make upgrading your Kubernetes cluster painless." This is the chief complaint I have about the Kubernetes community - vendors are vying to lock up the operational complexity in their commercial solution then leave no breadcrumbs to self-implementation. Notice that nothing in that post can be used outside of Google except for higher level order of operations.
- lainga 8y agoAs a comment somewhere a week back said: Kubernetes seems like a platform designed for consultants.
- thesandlord 8y agoAuthor here. Using Node Pools to upgrade your cluster isn't something that some people are aware is possible. Same with using Regional Clusters to ensure HA (as it just came out of beta). Sure, the rolling update is one-click (or even zero-clicks with automated upgrades) on GKE, but I wanted to let people know there is another method as well. Check out the other posts in the series[1] if you feel this one is too much like an ad and let me know what you think. Trying to keep the series a good mix of OSS and GKE specific things with the majority being OSS.
