When I think about k8s complexity, I can only understand this argument if I'm the one dealing with the infrastructure required. If I have to install k8s in my servers, then I'll probably need to think hard about security, certificates, hardware failures, monitoring, alerting, etc. It's a lot of work.
However, if I use a managed k8s service, I probably don't have to think about any of that. I can focus on the metrics of my application, and not the cluster itself. At least, that's how I think it should work. I haven't used k8s in a while.
- empath75 7y agoHonestly getting a cluster running is the easiest part. It’s all the add one like istio that make it complicated.
- haolez 7y agoYou don't need Istio if your application is simple. I think Istio makes more sense when your application makes heavy use of peer-to-peer pod connections. If you can get away with a simple queue as a bus, it should remain simple. I think!
