Kubernetes challenges
Is Kubernetes the answer to everything to do with infrastructure? Not at all. Let’s look at some challenges, such as Kubernetes’ complexity, and some alternative solutions for the problem of developing, deploying, and managing large-scale systems.
Kubernetes complexity
Kubernetes is a large, powerful, and extensible platform. It is mostly un-opinionated and very flexible. It has a huge surface area with a lot of resources and APIs. In addition, Kubernetes has a huge ecosystem. That translates to a system that is extremely difficult to learn and master. What does it say about Kubernetes’ future? One likely scenario is that most developers will not interact with Kubernetes directly. Simplified solutions built on top of Kubernetes will be the primary access point for most developers.
If Kubernetes is fully abstracted, then it may become a threat to its future since Kubernetes, as the underlying implementation, might be replaced by...
