"One time I got a whole lecture from a Docker Zealot about how I need to not treat my servers as pets."

You can always point out that pods are ran on nodes. Nodes use the standard built in GCP Auto-scaler (instance groups + load balancer). So its a great wrapper! But, it's a wrapper. GCP also! has a way to use a docker image as your VM.

Agree and understood. You sound reasonable. IME zealots trade reason for enthusiasm and they focus too much on the method, not the concept.

This individual was shocked to learn I thought you could treat the iron-born servers as cattle too. (But, my first clusters were in the late 90s, so got to the cattle concept quite some time ago)
