The bit about significant care may be true in on-prem installations, I don't know, but GKE for example is pretty darn bulletproof. As for upgrades, they do come along frequently and you don't want to get too far behind. Rolling no

I don't see a link to dig into the Open Application Model, and I don't have time to search for one tonight. Maybe kubernetes can benefit from a higher level of abstraction than helm charts provides, but I would need to see some us

Please do ban cars from Manhattan. Went in to have dinner the other night on the lower east side, and yes we drove and it's craziness. I stress out like mad every time I have to contemplate doing it. I'd rather never do it again,

As a former professional deckhand who has worked on small fishing craft, my take on this would not be that he elected to go down with his ship. If that has ever actually happened outside of myth and fable then it has at least been very rare

I know of no theory predicting porcine aeronautics :). In any case, the point is that it is not impossible that what you consider very unlikely is exactly what happened. So we wait for all the information before making judgements.

I think the main issue this author ran into was caused by setting the CPU requests so far below the limits. I get that he was trying to communicate the spiky nature of the workload to the control plane, but I think it would have been better

This is quite a bit like comparing moving your stuff into an apartment vs. building a house to move your stuff into. If you don't need the flexibility and stability of owning the structure then it's best to rent just what you do n
