Scaling Kubernetes to Over 4k Nodes and 200k Pods

• sidcool 5y ago
  Does it make sense to have so many nodes in a single cluster? Isn't multi cluster a better approach at that scale?

    Id like to see a Kubectl get pods -A crash a client

  Maybe I'm just oldskool but I immediately want to get the whole dev && ops team on board to lower this number! Then the ultimate bragging rights can begin. What doesn't sound better than we run a multi-billion company on just these 5 machines. Perhaps more realistically 200k/4k ... 50 :)

    I honestly don’t understand how running 50pods on a node can ever realistically workout. Especially on lower vCPU models (they mention starting with 4!) Am I fundamentally misunderstanding something about kubernetes or the lacking cpu needs of most web apps??
