I'm a platform engineer and I still think that Kubernetes and its tooling are unnecessarily complex.
As an aside, when I think "low-level" with regards to computer programming, I think machine byte code - closer to the hardware - so this statement read a little funny to me.
- OJFord 4y agoYeah, it may be complex and highly configurable, but it's hard to imagine getting much higher level than defining networking, storage, secrets, etc. through YAML.
- e12e 4y agoI feel it's a lot like the Java enterprise world of FactoryFactoryFactory-classes - a col league coined the term "horizontal abstraction" for this type of trend; you never build a pyramid/hierarchy that composes truly higher level/abstract reasoning - you just complect in various constructs - that all keep hold of most of the complexity from the level "below". So you get to write 30-40 lines of yaml for each of your ten slightly different services...
