Agreed about opex while the business is ramping.
Kubernetes has universally been a productivity killer in the organizations I’ve seen deploy it. It’s one of the bigger threats to the company at my current gig.
Maybe it’s just stuck in the trough of disillusionment this year, but I’d love to see a non-terrible replacement for it take over.
- rixed 3y agoThe Hashicorp suite (Nomad as the orchestrator) has the reputation to be simpler and more capable of scaling but I've never tried it yet. Better hurry since the industry has apparently decided to flock around kubernetes.
- inhumantsar 3y agowhat would you say are the biggest sources of pain? k8s is definitely a beast, and I'm curious what parts in particular that drag down productivity for you.
- rbanffy 3y agoIt is a complicated beast, extremely flexible. It's a box of Legos you need to assemble yourself. There is space for simpler, opinionated solutions (such as OpenShift) that require making fewer decisions and keeping track of less configuration.
- inhumantsar 3y agoyeah ok that's about what I figured. imho you can't really raw dog k8s unless you've got a team dedicated to building tools or, to use your analogy, packaging up sets out of the messy box of Legos and writing assembly instructions.
- llama052 3y agoIt's been the opposite for us. No more waiting for VMs to get spun up and it actually enforces a consistent layer across infrastructure. I'd be curious what the pain you've seen is.
- BlackjackCF 3y agoLikely just a lack of organizational expertise. Also, if you use some of the tools out there advertised to make K8s easier (operators + Helm) - you actually do have a harder time debugging the thing if you don’t know K8s well due to how many layers of abstraction those tools add.
