Why Does Kubernetes Exist?

Kubernetes seems so complex, why is that? In this video, we look at the past 20 years of web application deployment to understand how things have evolved and the role that workload orchestrators like Kubernetes play.

This is the fourth episode in a new content series in which I plan to build an application platform with Kubernetes. This is the same type of thing that I have helped multiple startup companies build over the past 4 years!

Another great content. Good to know the past about deployments and how things have evolved to Kubernetes. All the best in the next video.

I really appreciate that you are working on not only meritorical quality but to make content a bit more entertaining. What you do is actually a teaching, and most of us hardly remember boring teachers.

Kubernetes is so troublesome, People and finance need to troubleshoot K8s is equivalent to use traditional methods. To me it feels like a technology which solve one problem at the cost of maintaining that complex too which is another problem.

Again, I find cloud foundry for 80% of the apps I write just the perfect fit. Easy cli and ui, only provide the docker image, automated health checking by default, just plug in some services you consume, no hassle about routing or automated scaling

"treat a cluster of instances as a single resource" The way kubernetes does clusters is pretty wrong. If you want highly available infrastructure, kubernetes gets in the way. Highly available == Geographically distributed (physical infrastructure across the globe). Kubernetes does NOT allow you to do this and you get the same problems of "container orchestration" but at a cluster level now. It solves nothing while duplicating the problem kubernetes was intended to solve.
