Yeah probably the sad truth. I want kubernetes without kubernetes :P
Don't use Kubernetes unless you Know you need it.
The "Kubernetes is actually not overcomplicated" crowd, I presume?
I mean "not having to learn Kubernetes" is surely a factor?
Is there going to be a flip on kubernetes like we saw with the mongo hype from 10 years ago? It seems overkill for so many things.
Just remember almost no one truly need Kuernetes
Kubernetes solves a subset of your usual deployment problems and replaces it with a set of its own. I'd call it a tradeoff, but it's such a leaky abstraction that unless your Kubernetes fu is really strong it's mostly going to make your life harder. It's a nice keyword to have in your CV though. Most jobs that "require" it don't actually use it.
it's still in the k8s ecosystem - the entire ecosystem is a disaster
My God does Kubernetes sometimes feel like using a cannon to remove a zit.
If you're enjoying your Kubernetes, then have at it, but in my opinion it sounds like Stockholm syndrome.The thing is so complicated that even the guys who wrote it probably can't figure it out.I myself would rather sew together .BAT files, CORBA and COBOL into a shambling software frankenstein before I'd even consider using Kubernetes and get sucked into that mess.But seriously, 99 percent of us, even on HN, don't have the problems that kubernetes is trying to solve
