I feel like the fact that this even needs to exist is a damning indictment of k8s.

Maybe apply to Netflix, since it seems they're still trying to solve that problem https://www.theregister.com/2024/12/18/netflix_aws_management_tools/ https://www.theregister.com/2024/12/18/netflix_aws_managemen... <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42448541 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42448541>
- cjk 2y agoSure, I’ll grant you that at huge companies it’s probably easy to lose track of who is responsible for what and when resources ought to be cleaned up. But for small/medium-sized companies, using Terraform is sufficient. And while you can also use Terraform to manage resources on k8s, there’s a lot more friction to doing so than using YAML + `kubectl apply`. It’s far too easy to `kubectl apply` and create a bunch of garbage that you forget to clean up.
