If you can understand Lambda, ECS, and CF you can understand Kubernetes. The problem with Kubernetes is not that it’s hard, it’s that Kubernetes lexicon is new and people are still learning it. Now that I’m knee deep in the world of Kubernetes I actually find it easier to use and run. CF is an absolute abomination in comparison. God help you if you need to rollback in CF or debug something. I have none of those problems in Kubernetes. Kubeless is a lambda replacement that is easy to setup and run. Apache Openwhisk is another alternative. Why would I ever want to lock my company down to a specific vendor and their tooling when I don’t have to? Eventually cloud providers will need to contend with the idea that most of the stuff they’re doing will be replicated in Kubernetes. Kubeless and projects like Cert-Manger are perfect examples.
