- jordanbeiber 5y agoKubernetes works on it’s own if all you use is in k8s. I’ve yet to set foot in a bigger place with distributed teams and services that only use k8s and nothing else. In these settings there’s a need to interconnect and monitor everything. I’ve even at one time registered mainframe stuff in consul, as an external service, with a rather complex health checks in place. This alone improved observability and reliability for a lot of the distributed consumers.
