I wonder if advancement in orchestrator will shift the balance. There is a lot of effort into putting human knowledge into software, so that it can react to unexpected situation and self heal. K8s operators to be specific.
If this software works well enough, what would be the competitive advantage of AWS?
- zzzcpan 7y agoK8s is not an advancement in orchestration and is very much on the AWS side in this, deeply integrating with proprietary cloud services that do their own operations and infrastructure, not even considering open sourcing those services and their supporting infrastructure nor working towards alternatives to replace them. It's just that the same thing that makes AWS piles of money is the same thing the company behind k8s is after, so they are definitely not going to advance k8s in a way that commoditizes AWS. Not that they are even capable of doing so.
- jacques_chester 7y agoI think the Operator pattern reveals a real shortcoming in Kubernetes: there's a wide gap between the core orchestration problem and the many fiddly particulars of individual pieces of software. What we gained in homogeneity for cloud-native software we're now losing in wide heterogeneity of Operator software.
