I run into kubernetes a week ago. Found out this: https://www.udacity.com/course/scalable-microservices-with-k... Sounds pretty interesting, especially all the part about service discovery & node health/replacement. Anyone using it for production?

I didn't find that Udacity course all that helpful. Especially toward the end, where it could really shed some light on the actually advanced Kube topics, the videos shorten to 60 seconds each and he just glosses over topics without any explanation why they matter.

Really amazed by their great work. I'll look forward to upgrade the setup at my company. Since we started using kubernetes, we reduced our bill to 30% of its original price, and it made everything easier and scalable just as if we were using the costy Heroku. It's a really useful tech for third-world startups that cannot afford to spend thousands of dollars on infraestructure. I hope I can contribute to this OSS in t…

We've seen similar savings at our company. We have deployed Kube on a 6-node cluster of CoreOS nodes with 512GB each. These are dedicated servers hosted at Rackspace. We're about 30-40% utilized on RAM and maybe 15-20% on CPU. To host a similar set of services on our older Openstack environment would require at least 2-3x the number of servers. The cost savings isn't even the best part. Kubernetes has allowed us to b…

You folks don't know how much it means to us to hear that people are finding success with Kubernetes. Thanks for using it. We'll try to keep pushing the envelope.

Yea! The team at CoreOS is really excited about this release and the work that we have done as a community. If you are interested in some of the things that we helped get into this release see our "preview" blog post from a few weeks ago, RBAC, rkt container engine, simpler install, and more: https://coreos.com/blog/kubernetes-v1.3-preview.html

The CoreOS team and technologies have been critical to getting Kubernetes going. Thanks, Brandon.

At the risk of sounding like a mutual admiration society: Working with and learning from the folks in the community like Brian Grant, Dawn Chen, Joe Beda, Sarah Novotny, Brendan Burns, Daniel Smith, Mike Danese, Clayton Coleman, Eric Tune, Vish Kannan, David Oppenheimer, yourself Tim, and the hundreds of other folks in the community has been a great experience for me and the rest of the team at CoreOS.

Can't wait to continue the success with v1.4!

Now if only a native Azure provider was developed it would be excellent...

Why would I want to take my perfectly nice VMs and run them on a windows server?

Not sure if you are serious, but while Azure is from Microsoft, it is definitely not Windows only. In fact, most of the products coming out of the "new" Microsoft pipeline aren't in any way tied to Windows.

Kudos to them, and awesome to see people working to get Kubernetes to work on Azure.

This course is cringeworthily shallow. Short videos that don't go into details 'why' stuff happens. and people screaming 'WOW this is sooo useful' all the time without explainin why it's useful.

Wow, spooky coincidence - I discovered and installed this for the first time today! The docs could use some work, but generally pretty easy to get started. Great to see an openstack provider's been added, too.

Which guides did you use?

Only the docs on the website (barring a 5 minute intro to the "Why" of kubernetes[0]). Used the docs for getting set up locally with minikube, and also the hello node example.

minikube is awesome, really exciting development for the community. Which platform are you on?
