I don’t think kubernetes is nice because I’ve seen more than one small team throw a lot of resources at it and fail.

I’m not attacking docker, however, I can see why you would want containers. We still haven’t found an efficient usage for them at my place, but we never need to spin up more than one instance of our software. I think docker can sometimes be a way to cheat unsafe software around operations, but that’s more of an anti-pattern than an issue with docker.

Then again, I’m probably old and grumpy, but that sometimes has the advantage of not adopting techs before they are easy to use.




could you elaborate more about failure of kubernetes? I'm considering using docker/kubernetes in our production so to hear warning stories would be extremely helpful.
