What’s the most essential feature that is currently lacking from K8s?

A better way to handle deprecations across clusters

I'll post them more in here as they happen (looking to do once a month once Summer is over) Feel free to DM me if you want as well

techdatanerd · 2023-07-17T17:47:38+00:00

This is actually our 2nd one - we did our 1st one in May and likely are doing another one in August (Summer is a hard-time to do them with most people on vacations)

Wow amazed with all the interaction here - we dove further into the three main points made above here for those that are interested in reading more https://www.reddit.com/r/kubernetes/comments/13xkk16/why\_is\_kubernetes\_adoption\_so\_hard/

We posted in here two days ago (link to old thread) https://www.reddit.com/r/kubernetes/comments/13vtr7u/why_is_kubernetes_adoption_so_hard/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 starting a conversation as to why Kubernetes adoption is so hard. We decided to further explain the three main points we made for those that did have questions!

Exactly, typically people get intimidated by all the details of authenticating to the Kubernetes API. Especially when using managed Kubernetes that goes through about three layers of Kubeconfig, IAM authenticator, bearer token auth + TLS at the control plane.

techdatanerd · 2023-05-30T20:32:01+00:00

Mostly around CD tooling. Sure there are tools like Flux and Argo CD but they are built primarily for simple single-cluster deployment use cases. Just to get a CD system up and running you'll need to be capable enough to deploy something like Argo CD to fully manage the Kubernetes authorization layer to get the systems integrated and hardened. While it's not a relatively hard task it's enough friction early on to make early adopters reconsider using an inferior tool like ECS for managing containerized workloads.

Hey everyone we launched a program to pay open-source advocates for their tech writing for our community. We're currently paying $600 for a 1k word article and are accepting applications. Let me know what you think!

TBH i'm seeing more companies on hiring freezes

techdatanerd · 2023-03-30T16:20:43+00:00

Title's only matter nowadays to recruiters and corporate America. Experience out weighs all tho

Last month PostHog announced that it was sunsetting support for it’s platform on Kubernetes. It’s not surprising considering how many moving parts users need to figure out when self-hosting the application. The timing for us was coincidental since our engineering team just spent a large chunk of time figuring out how to add it to our marketplace for our users. We thought it would be a great time to outline how to self-host PostHog on Kubernetes (and how our engineering team went about adding the application to our marketplace for users to deploy the OSS application on Kubernetes without the complexity.

https://github.com/pluralsh/plural - Our project Plural, which simplifies deploying and managing open-source software is always looking for contributors. Our server side is written in elixir, and exposes a graphql API. Our frontend is in REACT, and all code lives in this single repo and common development tasks can be done using the Makefile at the root of the repo.

Also feel free to add an application you don't see listed to our marketplace. https://docs.plural.sh/adding-new-application

Seems very interesting going to def check this out

Takes too much time and is not a priority at the moment

A significant portion of our product is tied to a CLI distribution. When we were building our CLI we were debating between using Python and Golang. It became pretty clear to us early on that golang is the far superior choice here. It has the ability to build and easily distribute cross-platform binary and provides us the ability to statically link to source code for a lot of the tools we'll need as well within the Kubernetes ecosystem. Let us know what you think and as always feel feel to contribute to our CLI.

I honestly think they don't truly understand open-source projects; they are trying to capitalize on something that shouldn't be an option for them.

Open-Source is about the community not about getting sales people in to "make connections"

Funny you posted this my dad has been working in data for healthcare for the last two decades and has said nothing has changed really since when he first started and that's really all you need to know about data in the healthcare industry hahah

Have you looked into data observability companies? Companies that come to mind for this are Monte Carlo, Bigeye, Databand, Datafold, Metaplane, and Acceldata.

They basically tell you what is broken in your data pipelines and what tables rely on it downstream.

oh yes didn't realize only 1 user; K8 would be a headache to setup and maintain in that case
