That's an odd, perhaps presumptuous, claim to make considering this isn't even in the same orchestration/scheduling space as Kubernetes. Especially without mentioning alternatives.
From later in the FAQ:
> The complexity that comes with kubernetes is that it requires you to re-invent all the layers of a cloud platform that already exists. If you run a vanilla linux instance on AWS you get out of the box: networking, storage, security, routing, etc all for free.
They might not like the abstractions, but to say you have to "re-invent" all those layers is reaching.
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoI believe kubernetes is a little misunderstood- kubernetes is not software, and is not an abstraction on top of cloud. It’s an attempt at creating a standard-ish API for cloud. It’s currently being implemented as an abstraction on top of existing systems, because cloud providers have to leverage what they have and because its API still lacks all the functionality. But gradually it became a managed service that can provision databases, etc, and in another 5-10 years most cloud interactions will happen through it
