Kubernetes is popular in data centres but just take a look at how much CPU a fresh install of microk8s uses with nothing running on it (I often see ~4%). The various monitoring systems & addons can only make it worse. It puzzles me why optimising such things isn't more of a priority given that in the cloud resources cost money, not to mention the environmental unfriendliness..



People still religiously believe that development time is always more costlier than computer time in every situation, often misquoting Knuth.

Often, the layers add a lot of overhead, and these days not many would have understanding of underlying layers.


The k3s folks have wondered aloud how high a couple of their components would scale.
