Plus, you know, oftentimes the people commenting for the US nuclear defense systems to modernize are the same people who put Log4J everywhere they could (meaning: Silicon Valley engineers).
Its funny how hypnotic the word "modernize" is; totally divorced from any measurable success outcomes. More efficient? Possibly. But as we learned with COVID; when you stress an Efficient system, it breaks. Militaries tend to be pretty highly stressed; and it would be best if they don't break.
One thing is for certain: There is much the maintainers of these antiquated systems could learn from more recent engineering practices; but there is just as much we could learn from them.

- RF_Savage 5y agoB-1's run K8s these days.
- treesknees 5y agoThey don’t. There was talk of a future plane potentially running it, probably as a part of R&D purposes. This rumor was generated from a single person posting on LinkedIn. Very different than the active US military running k8 on their bombers. https://www.theregister.com/2020/06/03/kubernetes_b_21_bomber/ https://www.theregister.com/2020/06/03/kubernetes_b_21_bombe... > The B-21 is expected to fly in 2025
- RF_Savage 5y agoAh. Good to know. That rumor was making quite the rounds back then.
- ngc248 5y agohmmm maybe write a B-1 operator for k8s, so that k8s can deploy B-1s as required :)
