Is Kubernetes reliable?
Kubernetes helps improve reliability by providing redundant components, and making it possible to schedule application containers across multiple nodes and multiple availability zones (AZs) in the cloud.
When you should not use Kubernetes?
If you’re not dealing with many applications, don’t use distributed architecture, or don’t have available specialists working in your staff, you won’t be able to avail of the advantages Kubernetes offers — because it was not made for you. You’ll end up adding an accidental and unwanted complexity to your solution.
What are the limitations of Kubernetes?
Drawbacks of Kubernetes
- Kubernetes can be an overkill for simple applications.
- Kubernetes is very complex and can reduce productivity.
- The transition to Kubernetes can be cumbersome.
- Kubernetes can be more expensive than its alternatives.
Is Kubernetes container as a service?
This page is an overview of Kubernetes. Kubernetes is a portable, extensible, open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services, that facilitates both declarative configuration and automation.
Is Kubernetes really needed?
Kubernetes is useful if you are dealing with many containers and require some automation of the steps when starting them. So, unless you have a large microservice environment, Kubernetes is unlikely to bring much added value. Probably, it is not needed or suited for your case and you should not invest in it.
Why is Kubernetes so complicated?
All this complaining about YAML is quite amusing, but really it’s the symptom of the cause: Kubernetes is so difficult to use because the interface has to be completely rigid. K8s configurations are not living, majestic trees, they are a bunch of dead chopped wood.
Is Kubernetes an overkill?
Overkill for small applications: If your applications are too small, such as a landing page with a store’s location and hours, Kubernetes can be overkill, as it brings unneeded technical complexity. Best for microservices: If you’re not using a microservices environment, Kubernetes is really of no use.
What makes a great Kubernetes service?
Kubernetes provides an easy way to scale your application, compared to virtual machines. It keeps code operational and speeds up the delivery process. Kubernetes API allows automating a lot of resource management and provisioning tasks.
What is Kubernetes as a service?
A Kubernetes service is a logical abstraction for a deployed group of pods in a cluster (which all perform the same function). Since pods are ephemeral, a service enables a group of pods, which provide specific functions (web services, image processing, etc.) to be assigned a name and unique IP address (clusterIP).
What is alternative to Kubernetes?
Kubernetes Alternatives: Container as a Service (CaaS)
- AWS Fargate.
- Azure Container Instances.
- Google Cloud Run.
- Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
- Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)
- Openshift Container Platform.
- Rancher.
- Docker Swarm.
Is Kubernetes only for Microservices?
“Kubernetes: Not only microservices, but also high performance workloads” Ma explains how Kubernetes has become the dominant container orchestrator, what his favorite K8s feature is, and where it might go in the future.
