It’s “basically solved” in the sense that everyone gave up on distributed OSes and used k8s instead.
- zozbot234 5y agoK8s is doing distributed OS's on easy mode, supporting basically ephemeral 'webscale' workloads for pure horizontal scaling. Even then it introduces legendary amounts of non-essential complexity in pursuit of this goal. It gets used because "Worse is better" is a thing, not because anyone thinks it's an unusually effective way to address these problems.
- pjmlp 5y agoI see K8S as Application Servers for everyone, with containers replacing EARs, it certainly gets some WebLogic/WebSphere vibes when looking at those yml files and how we used to setup an Application Server cluster.
- marcosdumay 5y agoK8s just pushes the problem into the application layer, where every developer must solve it independently. It's not like it solves anything.
