Ask HN: How Do Big Corps Get Kubernetes Support?

It would be great to hear from the community how they get support for issues they encounter with Kubernetes.

I work for a big corp on the technical architecture team. Right now I'm seriously considering Kubernetes as our container orchestrator. With Kubernetes-sigs[1] and all the capabilites / features being explored by within the CNCF [2] vanilla K8s seems like a much smaller gamble than some enterprise product with everything already wired up and written in stone.

Has anyone else gone down this road? How did it go?

I can recommend joining the CNCF End User community [1] as it allows exchanging experiences around common problems, e.g. developer experience in a mid/large org, regulatory requirements (there are some banks in the CNCF End User community), etc.

For list of current members, see https://www.cncf.io/people/end-user-community/ (I'm working for Zalando and are co-chair of the CNCF End User Developer Experience SIG).

The CNCF End User community is a vendor-free zone, so you can also discuss and learn about experiences with certain vendors to have better insights before deciding on one ;-)
