It just puts an opaque YML fronted on a bunch of stuff I already know how to install configure and troubleshoot myself: firewalls proxies, web servers etc...
It dawned on me that people probably use it because they haven't done much sysadmin, but they want to deploy production systems.
As a sysadmin/programmer of 20+ years (what full stack used to mean I guess) it just mystifies me why someone would want to layer a barely documented front end on top of their infrastructure.
To me k8 feels kind of like a monster hybridization of cpanel & webshpere.
- weberc2 7y agoYeah, veteran sysadmins probably aren't its target audience. Orgs probably want to be able to enable their dev teams to deploy/operate production infrastructure without hiring a legion of sysadmins with decades of experience. Kubernetes, like all technology, is meant to lower the bar.
