GKE is pretty amazing. They manage the k8s control plane for you, offer worker node scalability and you can use a decent, intent based, automatable API for declarative deployments. No need to mess around with VMs or proprietary lambda/serverless stacks.
- mirceal 7y agoyes. i realize, but having a 3rd part manage the control plane for you != you managing the control plane. again, this comes down to delegating the work to someone that does this for a living. You could say you're using k8s at that point but you're definitely not operating a k8s cluster
- q3k 7y agoBut is anyone arguing that using k8s => you must be running your own control plane? This seems like a straw man. You're not saying 'running your own k8s makes zero sense', you're saying 'k8s makes zero sense'.
- mirceal 7y agomaybe. my experience has been that most people that say they use k8s manage the whole thing. people that use k8s on gcp usually mention gcp.
