Or perhaps somebody will evolve Kubernetes itself into becoming simpler?
I know that's a pipe dream, but really, why does it have to be? What would have to happen for people to actually work on making existing things simpler and better factored rather than reinventing the wheel?
My personal theory is that it's largely because that kind of work simply isn't being valued highly enough. Reinventing the wheel is a much lower friction path to take and has a higher chance of being rewarded highly. It shouldn't be like that, though.
- mst 7y agoI think k3s is sort of trying to do that?
- StavrosK 7y agoHave you tried it? Is it any good? I've been looking for a simpler Kubernetes, although I don't know how much simpler it can be in practice and still do the same things.
- cbluth 7y agoI've tried k3s, and while I was impressed, it leaves out several important features. RKE is a great alternative, and kubespray is quite stable well.

- pvorb 7y agoThe problem with making things simpler is compatibility. If you make something simpler, but don't stay compatible, it might be better to just find a new name for your simple version.
- jldugger 7y agoDo we even need k8s for a personal blog? What problem does it solve for someone coming from docker or a VM? k8s is a building block one can use to provide a simpler service, and if you want to convince anyone it needs a refactoring, maybe provide some specifics?
