DIY Kubernetes Is a Recipe for Mayhem
- Kubernetes is a highly popular open source project to deploy and manage modern container-based applications at scale.
- Kubernetes’ open source community has developed many cloud native tools for reducing the complexity of Kubernetes implementation.
- Many users run Kubernetes ineffectively as they are unaware of the ecosystem related to Kubernetes, which includes observability, logging, networking, security, storage, IAM, etc.
- Many users opt for a Kubernetes solution from significant clouds like Amazon EKS or Microsoft AKS to avoid difficulties, requiring the implementation of Kubernetes properly, leading to lock-ins and a high total bill of cost.
- Organizations that go the open-source route and manage everything themselves often experience balkanization, resulting in thousands of different implementations lacking interoperability.
- Enterprises require a centralized cloud-native engineering team to consolidate their Kubernetes implementations without widespread balkanization.
- The team should decide on a standard cloud native stack and provide push-button deployment and automated maintenance to establish consistency across public and private cloud platforms.
- The team can gradually migrate existing Kubernetes applications to the new, canonical stack and invite those developers who have already gained expertise about the cloud native world to contribute or join the centralized cloud native engineering team.
- Enterprises need to employ a strategic, centralized approach to Kubernetes to bring together scattered Kubernetes implementations and restore the efficiency/agility the implementation had initially promised.
- Kubernetes becomes entangled with the applications that run on it without consolidated Kubernetes management, putting the Kubernetes implementation at risk.
