I see that Uffizzi is built atop Kubernetes. Why bury?

  It is. K8s is an incredible tool but the expertise and time commitment to leverage it are too costly for many indie hackers, startups, and small businesses. You can reap the benefits without having to touch it. You can set up your Dev, Staging, and Production in a few minutes - pull your image from Dockerhub and then docker push all your updates directly into your cloud environment.

    Ah, now I understand "bury" Kubernetes. I like this idea and agree on expertise. I want to use Kubernetes but I'm a developer, not a DevOps engineer. I also like Docker :)

      AppOps is for developers on Kubernetes, so you can own your code full life cycle. DevOps now builds and maintains the shared pieces (logmon i.e.) and supports developers.

I was going to check out what it's about, but got totally distracted by all the popups and animations on the page and didn't read a thing. Anyhow, good luck.

  Agree. Remove all animations. As a user/reader I don't need a 1 second animation when clicking through pages.

A big part of my problem with AWS is not the services, so much as setting up the accounts/roles/permissions etc. and then visibility into my spend. How are you handling RBAC?
- bjornur 6y ago
  Agreed. The administrative overhead of AWS is high.

  I once saw how GCP was using AI to help you manage your IAM. We went the opposite direction. You get a personal account which you own and then you can invite contributors at the project level. Projects and the environments within are completely isolated. You and all your contributors can choose which Private Dockerhub repos to connect and deploy from. Org accounts are coming

Seems interesting. Just signed up.

I get it. This is for all the times I didn't want to go through all the set up to just to run a few containers. Backed by K8s gives me confidence in it unlike something more hobby like heroku

  Exactly.
