Code-wise, cloud-foolish: avoiding bad technology choices
- mikece 7y agoWhile the point can be made that using something complicated is a form of lock-in (K8s in this case), I think it's also a case where the proper use of specialized individuals or roles (a DevOps engineer) frees up developers from needing to do things they aren't good at (like configuring/managing K8s). This isn't to say there won't be devs who can't function in the DevOps role or can't figure it out, but freeing them up to focus on delivering business value while someone else worries about operational details will get you both high throughput and the agility to not rely on a particular cloud provider for their flavor of managed infrastructure.
