Kubernetes is an overkill for 90% of systems. The hype will die off eventually, but not before ruining fair number of projects. Death by overengineering. I wonder how things even worked before containers :)

- a_imho 8y agoWhat are some example where you think Kubernetes is the right choice?
- auslander 8y agoWhen you have to run many different apps from 3rd party devs, having standard deployment format helps. Or on-demand apps, like ETL jobs. Containers offer not much benefit if you're cloud native - you already have VMs and heaps of automation APIs.
- geggam 8y agoGoogle, Facebook, AOL , Oath/Y! When you have a large scale platform with millions of users and you need to add / remove / change services at some marketing teams whim
- a_imho 8y agoDo they run on kubernetes though?
- majewsky 8y agoGoogle runs on its own container system, Borg. Kubernetes is a free reimplementation of Borg sponsored by Google.
- a_imho 8y agoSo one of them rounded up? I don't have hands on experience with kubernetes and a quite a bit skeptical because of its supposed complexity. Would be interested in success stories though where kubernetes magic was the much needed secret sauce.
