As I said, it "can technically do some of those things, but it's a terrible tool for this job".
You can also use Kubernetes as a key-value database, wrapping values in ConfigMaps. You can do that, it will work. It is a terrible tool for that job too.
- cassianoleal 4y agoIt's definitely not meant to be used as a key-value database and I agree it's a terrible tool for that - although that capability can be useful in certain situations. That said, it's actually meant to deploy software to computers. It's actually not bad at all at that. I see nothing in your arguments that show why it's a terrible tool for this job. That said, this is mostly personal opinion anyway. You say using ansible/salt/etc is better for this job. It might be, depending on many factors. It's not great either though. I imagine Kubernetes is solving real problems for those who are using it in this kind of context. Note that I'm not defending it, I just don't see why it would be so bad.
