My take - Kubernetes isn’t perfect
Good to know. When I ask if a technology is worth leanring, I always
assume it's perfect. I was also relieved to discover a new platform
might but also might not surface to overtake K8s.
- rudi_mk 4y agoKeeping the complexity aside - which is always a decent motivator for new platforms - I feel a significant amount of technical and financial investment has been made in Kubernetes over the last few years. So when a community like the CNCF comes together and says okay, where do we go from here, I don’t think anybody says let’s ditch all we’ve done so far for a new platform that may never happen. Their focus ends up trying to either extend what we have already - which, let’s be fair, does actually work - or they look for ways to make using Kubernetes slightly easier.
- leoh 4y agoYou’re conflating connotation with denotation ;-) Saying “it isn’t perfect” usually means something has fairly fundamental flaws that make it uncomfortable to use; and can simultaneously imply that it’s among the best we’ve got. Almost certainly something will replace it or make it far more reliable, understandable, and ergonomic over time.

- rudi_mk 4y agoI’m sorry you found my earlier response vacuous. The point I was trying to make is that K8s is the best shot we have, and I wanted to underline the possible bias I may have. I’m sure someone must have found what I said worth their time, just as someone won’t.
