Our intern just asked me why we don't use Kubernetes.
I said because we don't need Kubernetes.
He said everyone uses Kubernetes.
I said everyone TALKS about using Kubernetes. Most companies are running Docker containers on three servers and calling it a day.
We have 40 employees. Our entire infrastructure runs on AWS with auto-scaling groups. It works fine.
Kubernetes is designed for companies running thousands of services across hundreds of servers. We have twelve services.
But he read that Kubernetes is "industry standard" so now he thinks we're behind.
This is what happens when people learn from tech Twitter instead of actual experience.
They think every company is Google-scale and needs Google-scale solutions.
We don't need Kubernetes. We need our MySQL database to stop running out of connections because someone wrote a query that doesn't close properly.
But that's not exciting. Nobody writes blog posts about "I fixed a connection leak."
They write about "How we migrated to Kubernetes and saved millions" even though the migration cost more than they saved.
I told the intern he should learn why tools exist before learning the tools themselves.
He looked disappointed. He wanted to put Kubernetes on his resume.
@ManUtd I get curious everytime, I see interim managers succeed easily, especially when the teams were doing badly just before, especially when the tactics used are the same or close. Were the players not just ready to play for the previous manager?
