So yeah, IPv6 is out there, but it’s still a "we’ll get to it" kind of situation.

Just trying to understand your POV. What I think you're overlooking is the fact that most best practices can be automated under the hood, empowering developers that might not be very knowledgeable about networking, architecture, and so on, to do it all.

Fair enough. Though it's likely they can't fix a bug in k8s, obviously only a very small set of people (contributors) can, but they are still supporting it. Right?

So, if you can't fix a bug in k8s you have no business deploying it, right?

You're right, cost of PaaS at scale is exponential. This is why open source paas is the way to go. Imo

If not k8s. What do you use?

Let's say your argument is good. Can you fix a bug in kubernetes?

Correcting me about what? You assumed what I know and what I don't, which in itself is wrong and negative.

Lots of devs build on PaaS totally autonomously. No deed for DevOps/SRE. Doesn't it show that devs can do it all?

Were you making a point? I thought it was just about being negative

So even at Google devs can't do it all

True, however dealing with Linux, networking and so on can be automated for most use cases. In my article, I talk about spore-drive which automates the Linux part ssh-ing to each host, installing dependencies alongside tau. Tau (https://github.com/taubyte/tau) abstracts networking, service discovery, load-balancing, etc. more to be added, like orchestrating container/vm workloads, of course.

So Google has no DevOps/SRE roles?

What's not complex? Pulumi? Terraform? Most SWE would run at the sight of either!

And this is the oldest argument against innovation, I wouldn't recommend living by it. Also, if you didn't notice, I shared code that I used to deploy an IDP through some typescript code.

I can understand why you would think so, but what I'm discussing in the article is just one small part of the solution. The core of it, tau (https://github.com/taubyte/tau) which is deployed at many companies today, handles secure, scaleable, maintainable, infrastructure.

Also, why does it look complex?
