- cardy31 5y agoK8s can generate coredumps if you configure it to, and they can actually still be useful in debugging certain classes of problems! However, at the multi-thousand person company I work at, there is like one guy concerned with core dumps.
- jamesfinlayson 5y agoLast time I tried to get coredumps working in a container (maybe four years ago) I got nowhere (it wasn't for a C/C++ application configuring everything to generate a core dump and then store it somewhere retrievable was too much).
- soraminazuki 5y agoCoredumps are a crucial source of information when investigating crashes and containerization doesn't invalidate any of that. Sure application restarts could minimize the impact of issues, but investigating them still is and should be standard practice. Furthermore, just because something isn't easy to do with k8s doesn't mean that it should be laughed at or scorned upon. I guess it's things like this that's causing articles to pop up that are somewhat skeptical of k8s.
