K8s is complex. For this reason Cloud providers sell it as a service.
K8s and microservices are a trend topic, so it is true you must think with your own head before creating microservices at will.
But I think the article is a bit too negative.
For instance, in my humble experience the application server is always a bottleneck before the database (i.e. if the database is Oracle or PostgreSQL).
Microservices move a bit of complexity on the client side, ask for smarter clients and offer a lot more resilience and fault tolerance.
The article focus only on scaling and forget the "Single Point of Failure" problem.
- cmhnn 7y agoIt's sold as a service because it drives compute. Compute is one of the top money makers. The more people who buy into things like k8 that are essentially VM deployment launchers the better. The providers aren't emotional about this like 90% of the posters here. If a new flavor of the week gets people to launch VMs next year then that will be sold.
