Managing infra != managing your own cluster. Don’t be silly, that was never kubernetes value proposition. It’s always been shaky to self host and manage that yourself, even if you are a seasoned infrastructure guy.
The idea was that they could manage the infrastructure their services need - ingresses, secrets, certificates, pods, load balancing, service connections, etc as code. And it’s been a wild success.
- spyspy 8y agoim not trying to be “silly”. i’ve seen this happen first hand. you can argue that that wasn’t the original idea but i’ve seen enough “k8s solved all our problems!” type conference talks and blog posts to see how people can be fooled.
- orf 8y agoI too have seen technical car crashes, where people have chosen a technology and completely missed whatever value proposition it has, misusing it in the process. i.e "let our developers manage a cluster"?! I wouldn't draw many conclusions about the technology itself from that though.
