It's a bit of both. In the end, I appreciate it and have been an advocate for the use of k8s. The harder part is actually hiring or developing in-house skills to manage the cluster(s). Not every company can afford a 6-7 figure consulting contract for a couple small clusters.
- harpratap 6y agoI never understood why a small company wants a completely in-house developed platform. Wouldn't it be more economical to directly use Cloud offerings? Or in case you need on-prem wouldn't it be wiser to just pay for offerings like OpenStack, CloudFoundry, DataDog, New Relic, GKE-on-prem and the likes?

- tracker1 6y agoFor k8s, we have been leveraging some cloud solutions. Working with govt agencies, it's been a difficult push. At least with k8s, we can do internal, cloud and hybrid models depending on application and client needs. Moving away from bespoke applications deployments has helped a lot.
