Have you ever used Kubernetes? The abstraction it focuses on is running container images; building them and getting them to a registry is a whole separate abstr

  This is a great answer. Kubernetes is missing (or said another way, OpenShift has...) buildconfig and imagestream primitives to make building containers a natural extension of your Kubernetes deployments/daemonsets/whatever. OpenShift has done a really good job of being there, wherever Kubernetes is lagging behind. They may not provide the new canonical implementation of the solution to the forseen problem, but they are expert at predicting where the gaps will need to be filled (and preemptively making an effort to fill them.) I see Helm project has a specific advice for multi-tenant usage now, too, in their best-practices advice! That was one of the criticisms of helm from OpenShift, and now it's evidently solved(-ish) with the advancements in modern k8s rbac and some documentation.

    Thanks for that - we definitely think there are many great ideas floating around in the Kube ecosystem, and projects like knative bring together a critical mass of perspectives and people to take “good ideas” and make them “things we all can depend on”. knative is a mashup of good ideas and patterns from app engine, openshift, cloud foundry, FaaS, and public cloud providers. I think it will fill the missing space between containerized apps and true FaaS on top of Kube, while still making it easy to break the abstraction glass as necessary.
