I'd say 99% of companies using Kubernetes can't really explain why they chose it over Nomad.

I'd say 99% of companies using Kubernetes can't really explain why they chose it over Nomad.
- alex_lav 3y agoThe entire reason is popularity/marketshare, and that's a really valid reason to choose tech like this.
- vundercind 3y agoYep. Plenty of people on the market with experience, and your employees know it’s a skill with market value, so they won’t resent your choice and start eyeing the door.
- beachy 3y agoMakes sense. And with LLMs training on what is publicly available, this becomes self-fulfilling, because you'll get better answers from AI about what is popular - not what is technically superior.
- cassianoleal 3y agoThat's already true on forums where answers depend on humans. It's possible that LLMs will make it even more prevalent but they won't have started the phenomenon.
- autoexecbat 3y agoIt's easy. When I look at resumes that come in, a sea of people listing experience with k8s and rarely a mention of nomad. When your team has familiarity with something, it's a bit harder to suggest an alternative unless it's quite a lot better
- linuxandrew 3y agoNomad isn't FOSS anymore, for one
- 1letterunixname 3y agoI don't think most companies can say why they're not at least isolating workloads with something like Kata Containers and why they're using only glorified cgroup jails, have an inventory of all the services they're running and why, can point to which machines have authoritative copies of data, how they back it up without replicating corruption, and how they'd do disaster recovery/BCP on it.
