    K8s = too complicated

    Is it just me or is kubernetes getting more and more complicated?

    From a developer perspective the already steep learning curve seems to just get steeper and steeper. E.g. Where does helm fit in with the operator framework?

      "is kubernetes getting more and more complicated?"

      Generally, K8s is seen as a heavy duty solution. For personal or small grade stuff, Docker might be more your thing - I run pretty much everything (toolchains, linux tools, etc) in Docker containers on a personal laptop.

      It keeps tools and dependencies separate, and if I screw up one container, the others work fine. This is useful when playing with cross-compilers or tools with particular dependancies.

      (I used way BITD to do a lot of Arm cross-compiling on an x86 box, and won't forget the time I overwrote my base GCC installation with 32-bit Arm binaries. Once bitten, etc.)

      I see k8 belonging to the infra team and not the developers. Devs create the software to run in docker. Infra setup the clusters and k8 to run it.

        A new scheme?

        And if you combine the two flavors of users together in one team you get a rough idea of devops.
