I'm very much in the camp of "Kubernetes is a problem factory".
Personally, I've found very few problems that it solves and more problems that it creates. That said, its probably a great time to be a Kube consultant!
- mirceal 8y agoif your team is only a handful of devs who work on the thing that pays the bills + do k8s, yes. bad time. the only way i could justify running this is if you’re using a managed solution like gke or eks. otoh, if you’re in the cloud, you already have the primitives to build your stuff w/o the k8s headache (vms, autoscalling, managed svcs). but that’s just my opinion. the koolaid is strong.
- bifrost 8y agoHonestly, if you have a $GENERIC_SYSTEM that you deploy your code to, you don't need the wasteful overhead. If you need to (vs want to) rebuild your OS/Environment regularly, you're doing it wrong. IE: PaaS is for you. That said, I've found replicating OS & Environment extremely challenging on certain operating systems so I understand the appeal. I also don't build products on those operating systems and I've found myself much happier :)
- mirceal 8y agoyeah. it depends a lot and k8s has its place in some scenarios, but in most cases you don’t need it and its use is purely driven by koolaid
