In conversations, I often compare the Kubernetes API to the Linux Kernel API (as analogy) - both provide primitives we kind of "agreed on" in the industry. I hope the Kubernetes ecosystem will flourish in the same way as the Linux

Nice observation, I haven't done statistics on the linked postportems myself yet. Please note that your observation might also be due to the fact that AWS has a far larger market share and did not provide managed Kubernetes until recen

I agree, some better UI for end users would be awesome: Kubernetes Dashboard kind of works, but is pretty limited and more a "kubectl in the browser". There are a ton of nicer UIs for Kubernetes, but they are all part of the value

Kelsey has the answer for you: "Kubernetes is a platform for building platforms. It's a better place to start; not the endgame." ( https://twitter.com/kelseyhightower/status/93525292372179353... ) As

I'm not familiar with Docker Swarm, but the Kubernetes API is the major strong point for me (not saying that it's perfect): it has the right abstractions (CronJob, StatefulSet, ..) and is extensible (Custom Resource Definitions).

DO K8s is pretty neat, but last time I checked it did not have the metrics server (CPU/mem metrics, also "kubectl top") yet.

I never used Docker Swarm (so can't compare), but I don't fully understand your point about Kubernetes cloud lock-in. Certainly there are important differences in networking, load balancing, persistent volumes, and other cloud fea

> adoption failures are mostly networking issues specific to their cloud Do you have any pointers/write-ups with more information or plans in this direction? I would be interested to learn more.

IMHO this would be less interesting, some people already run other container runtimes such as containerd with Kubernetes (e.g. Datadog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dsCwp_j0yQ ) --- so Docker might stay as some user inte

I would argue that the longtail of applications does not really care about the impact of overlay networks. For us, the biggest impact on low-latency applications (where 1ms makes a difference) on Kubernetes was disabling CPU throttling in a

We also use RDS in Zalando (and it works great!). With running Patroni on Kubernetes we get several benefits over RDS which in our opinion warrant the effort. Some examples include: * Real superuser access to the cluster * Installing custom

I guess you did not look into Patroni's README, as it states: > Patroni originated as a fork of Governor, the project from Compose. It includes plenty of new features. Governor's git repo seems to have no recent activity (last

This is a bit off topic, but the mentioned Ingress controller ( https://github.com/zalando-incubator/kube-ingress-aws-contro... ) is not using the ALB rules, it just provisions ALBs with the right SSL certificate and poi

While Swagger might not be perfect (some pain points are addressed with OpenAPI v3) it works IMHO pretty well for us (Zalando) and myself doing API first: * use a decent editor to write the YAML e.g. https://github.com/zalan
