It's for running a massive number of docker containers and automatically managing them and scaling them up and down on demand. It is also so famously brutally complex that basically you need a dedicated Kube expert to handle it.
- honkycat 2mo agoto be fair, at any large scale you need infra people.
- RussianCow 2mo agoThe problem is that companies tend to exaggerate their own scale and think they need k8s and dedicated infra people when they could get by with a handful of beefy VMs or dedicated servers.
- honkycat 2mo agoOr you could use hosted k8s and be future proof. I would take a kube cluster over a bunch of VMs I have to hand wire: wire releasing to, managing processes, restarting crashed processes, log aggregation, load balancing, networking, secret injection, cert management, DNS management, monitoring, etc... Any day of the week. You just don't know what you're talking about, sorry. Kube is really easy now.
