Another pro for Kubernetes is that it has a lot of inertia at the moment with a large contributing community and a large pool of engineers with experience in using it. It's a guess, but would assume the talent pool for hpc stuff isn't as big.
And yea, I like the ability to easily support a diverse set of workloads on the same cluster. It's a simple and easier to understand architecture compared to my previous experience with hadoop.
- xorcist 6y agoNot sure that's a pro if your use case is just a platform for long running compute intensive jobs. The platform's goals may diverge even more from yours in the future, if a cloud provider's use case is the cause for a big rewrite for example. A small part of said inertia is perhaps the CADT model of software development in action up close, where functionality can be redeveloped multiple times because someone is not satisfied with the outcome.
