Honestly I don't get the hate k8s get.
I run my own clusters and it just works.
Sure I have to ignore a lot of crap in the setup phase, there are so many products out there I don't want to pay for. The nightmare may come from some devop installing a bunch of helm charts without configuring things properly.
Scaling down to a minimal cluster is a real concern: I would like to run k8s for some micro project that literally run on 5$ vps but it's too heavy for that.
- roflyear 4y agoNever in my experience when someone says it just works does it just work in reality. Usually they are hiding some things that they are keeping up with but for some reason don't include those issues as the thing not working.
- cyberpunk 4y agoI look after a lot of k8s professionally (hundreds of clusters), and the only issues I've had in the last few years were a istio/pilotd bug and a bit of pain moving from e.g v1beta1->v1 during normal upgrades. Everything else that's gone wrong with these environments was cloud/hw related, or app stuff. Guess it depends on where your competencies are.
- roflyear 4y ago> Guess it depends on where your competencies are. That's true of almost everything, no? I use k8s myself (nowhere near that scale, basically the smallest scale you can think of... one cluster...) and don't think it is a bad product.
- k8sToGo 4y agoWhat about using k3s as a minimal cluster?
- Kab1r 4y agoI find that even k3s' low overhead is often too heavy to run in tiny VMs and SBCs.
