My friend is trying his luck with his own start up, they have yet to launch a 1.0 of product but the CTO implemented K8s citing scalability. I legit laughed at that statement.
- shaklee3 8y agoMy friend has a startup and a single person got a k8s cluster running on aws with kops+GPUs in a couple weeks. He loves it. The people who are running it successfully don't come on here to complain.
- pritambaral 8y ago> a single person got a k8s cluster running on aws with kops+GPUs in a couple weeks In the context of your GP's comment: 1. How long would it have taken that one person (or the startup) to get started with AWS+GPUs without k8s? 2. How much effort would it take that person to debug an issue with if/when one springs up? 3. What happens when the single person goes on leave?
- shaklee3 8y agoProbably a lot longer. Do you know of any other orchestrator that supported GPU scheduling natively 6 months ago?
- parthdesai 8y agoThe point is they have been coding away for more than a year without having getting out of beta. The CTO spent 3 weeks learning k8s and setting it up, those 3 weeks which could have been spent on features or ironing out bugs in the product and releasing an actual 1.0 of the product. You can always work on k8s once you have paying customers and have actual demand. Are you telling me you need k8s for not even 10 customers in beta?
- shaklee3 8y agoFor some use cases (GPU) it's considerably less expensive to spend the time learning kubernetes.
- parthdesai 8y agoYes you are right, but this is a glorified CRUD app.
