Is “1 computer livestock” even possible? After your single cattle is murdered, the next one has to be raised right? State has to come from somewhere. Downtime

State has to come from somewhere. Downtime has a cost for most businesses.
- bpodgursky 6y agoDowntime has cost. But being able to blow away a k8s node and bring it back up in 2 minutes (or have k8s auto-spawn a replacement node) is WAY faster than having to reinstall wordpress, reinstall nginx, set IP addresses, fiddle with your DNS, restore a database from a backup, etc, etc, etc.
- aaomidi 6y agoIn this case the state can come from a centrally managed k8s controller. Something that most cloud providers provide and have good SLAs on. Kubernetes just makes that story so much simpler. Heck a good cloud provider can just handle any machines fucking up automatically without any human intervention on your side. The same can't be said for a single machine.
