Having experience in both the former and the latter (in big tech) and then going on to write my own controllers and deal with fabric and overlay networking problems, not sure I agree.
In 2025 engineers need to deal with persistence, they need storage, they need high performance networking, they need HVM isolation and they need GPUs. When a philosophy starts to get in the way of solving real problems and your business falls behind, that philosophy will be left on the side of the road. IMHO it's destined to go the way as OpenStack when someone builds a simpler, cleaner abstraction, and it will take the egos of a lot of people with it when it does.
- wredcoll 1y ago> simpler, cleaner abstraction My life experience so far is that "simpler and cleaner" tends to be mostly achieved by ignoring the harder bits of actually dealing with the real world. I used kubernete's (lack of) support for storage as an example elsewhere, it's the same sort of thing where you can look really clever and elegant if you just ignore the 10% of the problem space that's actually hard.
- jcgl 1y agoWhat’s the simpler successor of OpenStack that you allude to?
