I'm a long time happy DO user, this is exciting. I've been managing multiple docker apps (using docker-compose) on DO for years. Is there a guide I can use to transition my apps from docker-compose to k8s? I've dabbled in k8s, but am not an expert at all. Any suggestions?

Check this out: https://github.com/kubernetes/kompose and this article may help: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/modernizing...

Been a user of DOs beta kubernetes service and it works well. Though I would say the title of the linked article is a bit misleading. It is a Kubernetes as a service, like EKS, GKE and AKS. But not vanilla container service a la ECS, Fargate, the former Docker Cloud, etc.

Great distinction. Either way it's nice to see DO expand its offerings. Love their service and the team.

Great job! Maybe now they'll have time to adjust their ssh-keygen documentation to fix their password cracking vulnerability. ( https://latacora.micro.blog/2018/08/03/the-default-openssh.h... )

Yeah, how dare a company do two things at once!

Serious question: Is there an emerging cross platform workflow language to just write stuff to run on any cloud/container hosting setup? The idea would be to be portable, avoid vendor lock-in and take advantage price differences or quickly route around a system failure in one of the providers.

Yes, kubernetes

yeah, but your configs aren't fully portable between cloud providers when you look at things like LBs, storage, etc..

Meanwhile, Linode fails to innovate.

There is not any innovation here. It should be: "Linode fails to start cloning amazon, yet.."

Man, judging from your other comments, you must really have a bone to pick with DigitalOcean.

For one, AWS wasn't the first cloud provider to offer managed kubernetes. Two, every major cloud provider pretty much offers some sort of k8s offering. Third, EVERY cloud provider is trying to play catch up to AWS, that's not specific to DigitalOcean.

"Linode fails to offer basic cloud products that every other cloud provider has." FTFY

Ditto - I would also be interested in a similar migration guide from docker-compose to k8s in DO.

Terraform requires separate config for each provider.

DO is my favorite hosting service for sure.
