There is nothing wrong with k8s it is a nice piece of technology.
But the article trending here a couple of days ago describes it well. https://www.theolognion.com/p/company-forgets-why-they-exist-after-11-week-migration-to-kubernetes https://www.theolognion.com/p/company-forgets-why-they-exist...
It is complex enough to make the k8s maintainers the heroes of the company. And this is where things tend to go sideways.
It has enough knobs and levers to distract the project from what they are actually trying to achieve.
- cedws 3y agoI see Kubernetes the same way as git. Elegant fundamental design, but the interface to it is awful. Kubernetes is designed to solve big problems and if you don't have those problems, you're introducing a tonne of complexity for very little benefit. An ideal orchestrator would be more composable and not introduce more complexity than needed for the scale you're running at. I'd really like to see a modern alternative to K8S that learns from some of its mistakes.
- pphysch 3y agoGit is a much more subtle abstraction than k8s though. You can be blissfully unaware that a directory is a git repo, and still read/patch files. You cannot pretend k8s doesn't exist in a k8s system.
