Thats not wishful thinking. I did it from day one with my startup with GKE. You can blow up any of my servers, and a new one gets spun up and dockers deployed while the glitch is load balanced around. All for only a few hours of work.
GKE has given me the infrastructure of a 10 million dollar company, with me as the IT guy doing 1h or less a week of IT work.
I would not be able to do this on a $35 hertzer machine.
- dijit 7y agoGKE (and GCP in general) is a special beast when it comes to this. They support online migrations of instances and it's nearly seamless. In fact, it's very commonly happening to instances, probably ones you have. But if you're running on AWS with their EC2 instances for your application, then it's not more reliable than a single chunk of hardware in my experience (there are special cases, some hardware is just crappy)
