Great opportunity for someone ballsy to write a book about kubernetes internals for the general engineering population.
Bonus points for writing a basic implementation from first principles capturing the essence of the problem kubernetes really was meant to solve.
The 100 pages kubernetes book, Andriy Burkov style.
- motorest 2y ago> Great opportunity for someone ballsy to write a book about kubernetes internals for the general engineering population. What would be the interest of it? Think about it: - kubernetes is an interface and not a specific implementation, - the bulk of the industry standardized on managed services, which means you actually have no idea what are the actual internals driving your services, - so you read up on the exact function call that handles a specific aspect of pod auto scaling. That was a nice read. How does that make you a better engineer than those who didn't?
- arijo 2y agoI don't really care about the standardized interface. I just want to know how you'd implement something that would load your services and dependencies from a config file, bind them altogether, distribute the load through several local VMs and make it still work if I kill the service or increase the load. In less than 1000 lines.
- motorest 2y ago> I don't really care about the standardized interface. Then you seem to be confused, because you're saying Kubernetes but what you're actually talking about is implementing a toy container orchestrator.
- laggyluke 2y agoYou might be interested in this: https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way It probably won't answer the "why" (although any LLM can answer that nowadays), but it will definitely answer the "how".
- arijo 2y agoThat's nice but I was looking more for a simple implementation of the concept from first principles. I mean an understanding from the view of the internals and not so much the user perspective.
- arijo 2y agoI actually took the time to read the tutorial and found it helpful. Thanks for taking the time to share the walk through.
- adhamsalama 2y agoKubernetes in Action book is very good.
- arijo 2y agoI actually have the book and I agree it is very good.
