Isnt all this legacy burden solved on container level? Once you got a container - how complicated should it be to just run it?

Once you got a container - how complicated should it be to just run it?
- derfabianpeter 6y agoIt’s funny that your questions all imply that this should be a „solved“ problem while you can’t even grasp the complexity of reliably serving arbitrary software applications to arbitrary consumers. All that „legacy burden“ isn’t so legacy and for every layer of abstraction that makes all of this look less complicated, many highly skilled people put in a lot of effort.
- aristofun 6y agoSure this thing can't be solved 100%, just as a problem of running consumer software. But still we have good enough desktop apps, that even a kid can setup and run. Nobody yet clarified what's the fundamental difference between those and apps running in the cloud. > many highly skilled people put in a lot of effort Without good "product" guys supervision they tend to get systems only other highly skilled people can comprehend, btw.
- bradknowles 6y agoDoing one thing once is easy. Do it ten times. That’s harder. Do it ten times each for ten people at once. That’s a lot harder. Do it ten times each for ten people each across ten different cities in ten different states in ten different countries. That’s much, much harder. It’s the “Wheat and Chessboard” problem all over again (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_and_chessboard_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_and_chessboard_problem ). The fundamental problem here is one of scale.
