Kubernetes has become the dominant container orchestrator, but many organizations that have recently adopted this system are still struggling to run actual production workloads. In this practical book, four software engineers from VMware bring their shared experiences running Kubernetes in production and provide insight on key challenges and best practices.

The brilliance of Kubernetes is how configurable and extensible the system is, from pluggable runtimes to storage integrations. For platform engineers, software developers, infosec, network engineers, storage engineers, and others, this book examines how the path to success with Kubernetes involves a variety of technology, pattern, and abstraction considerations.

    Anyone with experience using Rancher? Seems like a good product, just wondering if there are gotchas that are only obvious after daily usage.

      Anyone with experience using Rancher?

      I've tried Ranch dressing. Does that count?

      I think people use Helm instead?

      • soan papdi on 24/03/2021 - 15:27

        Helm is for packaging apps and easy deployment. Rancher is a higher level k8s management tool. You can manage on-prem and cloud k8s clusters, easy to use gui for resources, metrics, access control etc. Seems like a good product but was interested in hearing other people's experiences.

        • davemac on 24/03/2021 - 19:19

          Haven’t used in production yet, very high cost to get supported version. Google anthos is probably cheaper IIRC.

          I’m a bit worried about setting out using the free version and finding a gap.

          I’m thinking about starting out with just vanilla Kubernetes and kubeadm.

          The longhorn project the rancher guys are doing looks awesome though.

          • soan papdi on 24/03/2021 - 20:44

            @davemac: I don't think we'd pay for Anthos. I already have a few clusters set up with kubeadm and it works fine but changing anything is so tedious and error prone. Would be nice to have a GUI for the simpler stuff at least.

            Wasn't aware of longhorn, sounds like a good one to use with rancher.

              @soan papdi: Try OpenShift or upstream OKD. Full GUI, full platform, ready to go. Red Hat helped Google open source kubernetes.

              • soan papdi on 25/03/2021 - 09:41

                @eraser215: That's an option too but I don't think we're ready to pay for anything, given that kubeadm based clusters work fine for the most part. Given how CentOS policies changed with very little notice, it's hard to trust Red hat on OKD now.

                  @soan papdi: CentOS is downstream of Red Hat's commercial offerings, whereas OKD is upstream. No danger of that disappearing IMHO. Good luck with your k8s however you do it!

    Learn this is you are a fan of vendor lock-in and see your future spent on a year long migration project to the next tech fad.

      Yes we don't need docker or orchestration, just upload executables direct to the mainframe. Not everyone works at a small company

      Kubernetes is the antithesis of vendor lock in

      • eraser215 on 25/03/2021 - 09:28

        How so? Public cloud vendors have different APIs and compatibility with the underlying container host OS still matters, even if people pretend it doesn't.

        • abb on 25/03/2021 - 09:55

          You don't have to rent a cloud.

          I'm not sure I've understood your last point - are you talking about compatibility between k8s and host, or container and host?
          Container/host matching can be managed with k8s easily enough (e.g. if you need a certain version of your app to run on a certain kernel version or whatever).

          • eraser215 on 25/03/2021 - 22:10

            @abb: I meant container and host, which goes pretty deep beyond kernel versions.

            • abb on 26/03/2021 - 11:18

              @eraser215: Right, I said "e.g. […] or whatever", not "this is the only possible reason" ;)

              You should be able to manage it with k8s, if you know what the dependencies are. Of course, figuring out all the obscure dependencies is another story…

        • Trojan on 25/03/2021 - 15:31

          You seem to be confusing Kubernetes with cloud. Kubernetes can be run on-prem

    If Kubernetes is the answer then you've misunderstood the problem… and about to have a new wave of problems!

    • aert on 24/03/2021 - 20:40

      Do you mean blockchain instead of kubernetes?
