Thank god I don’t need this, but the Lens folks are great and congrats to them. I suspect this is custom built for a tiny handful of supermassive clients, so hopefully they land the contracts! As overly complex as all this is, in a few more years there will be very little difference between any given datacenter and the feature-set AWS datacenter software brings to an AWS datacenter. I do wish kubernetes had headed down to the startup world instead of up into the enterprise world. I’d take a complex standard over 500 pounds of “simple” glue/bash/Jenkins any day of the week.

The idea of data centers and the providers that may or may not own or run atop any given data center is the rationale behind our entire architecture at my business! We started by adopting a common OS, and selecting against the use of entirely-proprietary services or tools. Now our server management control plane is code in git, executed by applications in Kubernetes. As long as we can get a connection to the app or server, we can now pretty much take our system to any environment that runs the expected OS. GCP, AWS, Azure, Linode, DigitalOcean, OVH bare metal, you name it. It is fantastic.
