Kubernetes is just a poor Linux clone with extra steps. Seriously, it has all the basic parts of an OS, just half-assed: the scheduler, the networking, the state management. We already had way better operating systems that can, you know, schedule workloads and talk to the network, and it didn't require gigabytes of YAML and string templating to make it happen.
- weitendorf 2y agoYes. I actually wrote another top line comment about this which I deleted. Kubernetes is like someone decided to create a distributed Linux where you had to configure and learn about every part of the operating system. Linux proves it’s possible to provide simple “deep interfaces” to OS-class, hard problems. Most people in industry have never used Borg or something like it, and so think Kubernetes is like apex technology rather than a step backwards. And to most people working directly on tech like Linux/containers/low-level infra is something they don’t even consider doing because they subconsciously think it’s off limits. So to them Kubernetes is amazing rather than riddled with fixable problems.
