Should "easy" and "kubernetes" ever really be in the same sentance?
Not being snarky, just realistic - I feel like cloud providers sell "kubernetes" as the only way to properly develop apps, because you can be cloud-agnostic, without lock-in, you have full control over your infrastructure.
Without realising, that for most projects, running a kubernetes stack requires a person just for tuning and maintainance. Kubernetes is great - when you hit massive problems of scalability, but most people aren't going to be facing the problems kubernetes solves.
- moondev 5y agoThese days it feels like the real value of kubernetes is not the ability to "planet scale" but actually the control-plane API. With tools like kind, it actually is really easy to get going locally, no cloud needed. I see no reason to not use it, even if your deployment cluster lives on a single vm. The API is worth it.
- lrhegeba 5y agodelivering your service/app via kubernetes is slowly becoming the standard way, just like an universal binary format. so as a developer you should build towards delivery for kubernetes. but you are certainly right that one should avoid running your own kubernetes infrastructure - at least until you can afford the accompanying expenses
