I previously managed my companies Kubernetes clusters using Kops on AWS. My company switched to Google, so I had to move everything to GKE. I miss Kops, it gave me more control and made life easier. I don't want to use the old crappy deprecated DNS server, but with GKE that's what you get. I don't get to control what goes on the masters on my clusters because they're not mine anymore. Having GKE do the masters means more headaches and complexity because I no longer have control. I love K8s, but GKE does a pretty poor job implementing it. It boggles my mind that the main company behind K8s is so incompetent in implementing it.
- farisjarrah 6y agoIts a bit of a pain, but you can definitely switch to CoreDNS on GKE if you need to. Also as someone who has used GKE, EKS, MicroK8s, and Minikube, I would say that the easiest to use implementation of Kubenetes as a Service is GKE. Not saying its easy or the worlds most thought out product, but I gotta give google just a tiny bit of credit for at least being easier to use then the competition.
