Yes, it is the holy grail. Yes, the documentation is a bit spotty in some cases. We've been using kubernetes in GCE for about 1 year. We run both interactive services and batch jobs in 2 clusters: dev and production. The production cluster runs fully with declarative configs (we have a jenkins instance that performs the deployments of committed k8s configs). There are a couple of features that we are missing: (pod anti-affinity now in 1.6) and better support for storage. But in general kubernetes has the right concepts for running services, imho. We have 0 ops people. Our clusters run on large VMs with 10s of PODs in the same VM. We can get high cpu/mem utilization; resilience to failures; logging; monitoring (via prometheus - GCE /stackdriver is awful). I don't think there is anything out there that comes close in terms of supporting the right abstractions and being ready to use in production.

we aren't anywhere close to using it in production yet, but my impression so far is to agree with you. Every single use case or weird requirement I've made up so far has had an answer, or had a solution in at least the proposal phase.

Is your jenkins code public?
