"That sounds like a shitty excuse to just dismiss the whole thing as too hard"

Disclosure: I work at the company that published this post.

I read it differently (albeit, I have much more context). I read it as a cautionary tail that Kubernetes makes it easier to get in trouble if you don't know what you are doing - so you better have a deep knowledge of you stateful workloads and technology. Perhaps obvious to some, but still a good reminder when dealing with a well-hyped technology like Kubernetes.




I appreciate pragmatic replies like this, providing opportunities to gracefully get off the hype train for those who bought in.


I agree. Kubernetes seems clear that "pets" isn't their strong suit. I'm surprised at the surprise here.

They will likely get better at it over time. Until then, either run it outside of K8S or deal with the warts.
