What we learned after a year on Kubernetes

Have you ever worked at a company that has more than 300 VMs that run more than 10 different apps?

Kubernetes solves a specific set of problems. Just because you personally don't have these problems, doesn't mean that Kubernetes is a fad.

A small company called Nokia Networks, on a tiny product for telecommunication cluster monitoring called NetAct.

Then there was that tiny physics research center close to Geneva creating what was one of the first grid computing platforms.

But what do I know, that was almost 15 years ago.

I did, it's called Amazon. It does not need k8s or containers at all.

Great. So you also believe that Kubernetes is a fad and doesn't solve any problems for anybody and we should all stick with VMs?

I know what problems it solves, what problems it creates and how very expensive it is to learn, operate, optimize and debug.

Its features do not justify its complexity and the cost of operating it.
