You'd probably be surprised. Kubernetes is a hot enough buzzword that even companies as bizarre as Chick-fil-A are getting on board, with a hilarious architecture.

Edit: Way past the getting-on-board stage, apparently. It had slipped my mind that the article I linked is from 18 months ago and already described an extensive rollout.
- sciurus 7y agoFYI I saw a presentation by the team at CFA after that blog post was written. They said the in-store K8s deployments were only running greenfield, non-production applications. I don't know if that's changed.
- scarface74 7y agoThat’s a great anecdote, but small fry when compared to all of the other F500 companies that MS and AWS are able to court by using their thousands of partners that are intimately familiar with enterprise on prem workloads and know how to slowly migrate customers. MS has decades of building relationships with large companies that it can leverage. If Google’s only proposition is that it’s cheaper, any AWS Solution Architect can negotiate lower prices from AWS if they want to secure a client that’s large enough.
