My point was you don't need to use the tools you use today, except to do the version flip (and probably to deploy the subtrate - unless you are doing a cloud-image solution and not trying to do something on-premise). And this will get better when cloud providers embrace higher level cluster operations more natively.
And build time is the way to go for everything you can push down into build time. There still may be some need for service-discovery type applications.
- dorfsmay 11y agoAgreed, moving more and more stuff to the build, lighting up an image should be nearly instant, so we can do auto-scala etc... so no more "pip install -r" when bringing up an image, that's now part of the build. But the landscape for tools to build that image, be it a docker image or an AMI, right now, is the same. I find myself "going back" to ansible but now using it to build images rather than change online VMs (could be any tool, I know ansible and it suits my way of thinking).
