Hmm - have you considered a tool like Terraform or Deployment manager for creating the clusters? In general, it's best practice to capture that configuration as code.

It's not _just_ abuse. It's not _just_ the new SLA. It's also the additional functionality we've built beyond just Kubernetes and how simple we have made the offering and auto-scaling, etc.

Thank you <3. I apologize the email was hazy on details. I can't un-send it, but I'll work with the product teams to make sure they are crystal clear in the future. I'm interested to learn more about what you mean about ou

That's correct. Vault Enterprise (at my last math) was ~$125k/yr, so that management cost is negligible :)

Attempting to capitalize on a competitor's announcement isn't cool and doesn't look great.

Thank you for the feedback. The management fee is per cluster. You are not billed for replicated control planes. You can use the pricing calculator at https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator#tab=container to model

Hey everyone. Seth from Google here. There's another parallel thread at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22485625 and I've responded to items there. I'll try to respond to items here as well.

You keep noting how "easy" it is to provision and manage a Kubernetes cluster. From experience, properly securing and maintaining a Kubernetes cluster is a multi-person full-time job.

by sethvargo 7y ago
Even if your worker nodes are pre-emptible, the master nodes are not. The management fee covers running those master nodes and many other core GCP integrations (like Stackdriver logging and other advanced functionality). Billing is computed

It's slightly different than other cloud pricing because we include a free zonal cluster as a hobby tier.

Just doubling down on the free zonal cluster as a hobby tier. Folks seem to be missing that among the announcement.

by sethvargo 7y ago
We offer one free zonal cluster, which is specifically designed for your use case :)

by sethvargo 7y ago
Thank you for the question. While I can't go into deep detail... as with most free things, people find a way to abuse the system. While we've invested significant effort to curtail such abuse, this is the road we've landed. T

That's great feedback. I'll relay that to the product team. IANAL, but I think it would be legally challenging.

by sethvargo 7y ago
I'm sorry to hear that. You can use namespaces and and separate node pools to isolate workloads. We'd love to hear more about your use case for having many small GKE clusters.

by sethvargo 7y ago
Thank you for the feedback. > Google's inability to actually commit to long term support... This is _exactly_ what Google is doing in this case. We are providing an SLA - a legal agreement of availability and support. These changes

You don't need to do the calculations by hand :). We've updated our pricing tool to account for these changes: https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator#tab=container .

Thanks :). I'm waiting on Terraform support for Secret Manager[0], then I'll update the configurations to use that for storing the initial root token and certificates. Vault works great on GCP, and it's used by hundreds of en

Sure - in short, we partnered with multiple customers in designing and building this service. Let me check with my team and see what we _can_ talk about :)

by sethvargo 7y ago
Secret Manager is a Google Cloud first-party fully-managed service. Vault still works and runs great on GCP for users who want more advanced functionality like dynamic secrets.

Enable Cloud Audit Logging for Secret Manager and give us feedback. We know auditing is super important, so it's built in!

by sethvargo 7y ago
Sorry the pricing is unclear. In Secret Manager, secrets are versioned (a "secret" is a named collection of "secret versions"). We only charge for active secret versions (you can destroy secret versions, usually after a

While I cannot comment on specifics, we are going to provide deeper, first-class integrations with other GCP products.

Hey everyone - sorry for the delayed reply, I've been on a plane. Seth from Google here, the same Seth in the byline of the blog post. We are very excited to bring Secret Manager to the market. Let us know if you have any questions!

If you read between the lines, it appears to be a liquidation.
