Kubernetes isn't the source of complexity - it is the problem domain of building and operating distributed systems that are fundamentally and essentially complex.
Compare the complexity of Kubernetes to Openstack - the next most similar project in the same problem space, and you will find Kubernetes is actually pretty simple.
- bauerd 7y agoOpenStack and Kubernetes serve different purposes. Despite the article, Kubernetes at its core really is a container orchestrator. OpenStack is a collection of software you'd use for running a mini-AWS on bare metal infrastructure.
- moshloop 7y agoOpenStack and Kubernetes don't serve different purposes - they just solve them differently. Both fundamentally are about abstracting the way in which infrastructure is managed.
- bauerd 7y agoWell you can't run OpenStack on Kubernetes, but the other way round works. They target infrastructure at different levels of abstraction
- eldelshell 7y agoI think you meant OpenShift. OpenStack works with full fledge VMs not containers.
- moshloop 7y agoI meant OpenStack. Kubernetes works with fully-fledged VM's as well - See Kubevirt
