| I believe this is nonesense and most of all clickbait.... Most clients I encounter have more need to be able to dynamically run their workloads than the problem that it costs to administer their clusters. Tools like crossplane, argo and a lot of other make it simple to - almost - run your clusters on autopilot. Kubernetes is not cheap, but being your "own hoster" never really was, but i can tell you what is going to be expensive for you: vendor lockin by a none open source service and also putting all of your eggs into one basket. Even if that basket claims to have servers internationally. Just look what happened whith the creation of the cluster API, we are moving into a future where all you need to truly autopilot your workloads is a little bit of <insert language of your choice>. I just dont get that in a time where everything can easily be automated from your code commit, over testing, to canary deployments and rollbacks, with a community that delivers top of the line code on a constant basis, for free, could even be compared to what i would consider more or less shared hosting. Stating that you need a 4 person Devops team for a 6 node cluster is just sad. Also you seem to be replacing your nodes anually too so that makes extra sense =) I get that you like to market your product, but as someone doing freelance devops for while now, please dont be ridiculous. |
