Overall Satisfaction with Kubernetes

Kubernetes was used in my organization by a specific department. The business problem it attempted to address was resource allocation and scheduling. Creating and tearing down containers at will dependant on resource demand. These resources provided API services to the front-end website.
  • Resource allocation and scheduling.
  • Managing container instances and run-files.
  • Allowing for infrastructure as code.
  • Usability and user friendliness.
  • There is no front end and anything attempting to provide a self-service model must be created currently.
  • It uses pretty new technologies so there is a relatively steep learning curve.
  • The only negative impact would be time lost in research and development.
  • It is possible that a lack luster understanding combined with a migration to kubernetes before being ready could lead to disastrous scenarios.
  • Mesos, Docker and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
Kubernetes is a great alternative to cloud hosted expensive solutions. It is extremely well documented and maintained. It is probably the best home-grown solution available for container infrastructure management.
Any sort of stateless service that is under heavy utilization or demand is a great candidate for containers in general and therefore kubernetes. Kubernetes should not be implemented in a specific department or for specific purposes. It is a general solution to a large problem and should be put to use accordingly.
