"BTW, learning Kubernetes can be done in a few days. " - Learn something in a few days and the ability to run it in production are completely 2 different things. Security, upgrades and troubleshooting cannot be learned in couple of days.
- DuskStar 7y agoSure, but "how to toss existing docker containers into GKE" is IMO less than three days. Unless you have a reason to manage your own k8s cluster, k8s is extremely easy.
- pas 7y agoAnyone who starts doing anything "in production" based on a "maybe you don't need k8s" article should step back and think about whether they are the right person to put things into production. Are you bootstrapping your stealth-mode side-project? Pick whatever you think is best, but think about the time value of operations. (So maybe just pick a managed k8s.) Are you responsible for a system that handles transactions worth millions of dollars every day? Then maybe, again you should seek the counsel of professionals. Otherwise these articles are just half-empty fuel cans for an (educated?) dumpster fire. That said HashiCorp stuff is almost guaranteed to be amazing. I haven't even looked at Nomad, but I think anybody starting out with orchestration stuff should give it a go, and when they think they have outgrown it they will know what's next. Maybe k8s, maybe something else.
