These complex solutions allow one operations engineer to manage thousands and thousands of servers/containers. Guys that just knew how to bang together bash and Perl scripts got laid off all over the place in favor of people that know cloud stuff.
- 4thaccount 8y agoI believe the author probably understands that fully and is instead referring to the situation where the optimal solution is a little bash script and somehow the developer designs this horribly complex solution that isn't any more performant, but seems more fancy. Sadly, I think developers sometime do this just to learn new things and keep their resume up to date. It's rough out there from what I read (glad I'm not a developer).
- alchemism 8y agoIt turns out that banging together bash scripts which contain invocations of cloud SDK tools has as much relevance in the k8s era as any before. Maybe it’s Python instead of Perl but that is about the most-significant change.
