The Inefficiencies of Kubernetes

  • Comments posted to this topic are about the item The Inefficiencies of Kubernetes

  • My official role is in Data Engineering.  Because I have a broad range of skills accumulated over the decades I am plugging a gap in our cloud engineering demand.  There is a lot of IaC (Infrastructure as Code) work and it has been a baptism of fire.

    Much as a lot of DBA work goes unseen, underestimated and under appreciated by consumers of database services, so to is IaC a Cinderella skill.  From a cloud console a lot can be done from the click of a few buttons.  Under the hood those buttons trigger a whole cascade of actions which a Cloud Engineer has to cater for when doing the same thing with IaC.

    I have a deep appreciation for the skills required for looking after a K8s cluster to a professional level.  I am competent to build the Docker containers my organisation needs.  It straddles the line between Data Engineering and what our Cloud Engineers do.  I have tried to get to grips with K8s and have to concede that it isn't my thing.  If my mind had knees, K8s asks them to bend the wrong way.

  • That were AI may come in handy to manage the complexity
