Kubernetes feels like Javascript has reached the sysadmins, new updates, libraries, build tools every week.
It's mainly good for keeping high paid people employed, not keeping your servers stable.
I ran a cluster 1.5 years in production, took me so much energy. Especially that one night where digital ocean managed cluster forced an update that crashed all servers; and there was no sane way to fix it.
I'm back to stability with old school VPS; it just works. Every now and then you run a few patches. Simple & fast deploys; what a blessing.
- hot_gril 3y agoJavascript stuff tends to stay working, unless you're talking about React which breaks all the react-whatever libs every time.
- firesteelrain 3y agoI am not understanding how you say you ran a cluster when you were using a managed instance so you weren’t really running it. Now , going to a VPS makes you effectively the MSP. I don’t see how that addresses the LTS issues since k8s is updating so often that you have to keep pace with the updates (that you now need to do). I use a managed instance and manage my own private instance.

They're not saying they moved to running k8s on a VPS - they're saying they moved to using a VPS instead of k8s (i.e. have escaped the k8s upgrade cycle).
