Kubernetes is an overkill for 90% of systems. The hype will die off eventually, but not before ruining fair number of projects. Death by overengineering. I wonder how things even worked before containers :)

What are some example where you think Kubernetes is the right choice?

Google, Facebook, AOL , Oath/Y!

Really, you are getting something of great value for free in return for your e-mail, and feel obligated to try and contort and "screw" them? This is the exact sort of mentality that frustrates me as an entrepreneur. If you don't like the terms, then simply hit back. You're not entitled to anything. end of rant

At some point entrepreneurs need to run into the fact their business model wont work. Any effort to control the distribution of digital media on the internet is doomed to fail. It is not our job to prop up failed business models. or should we just give you money because we feel sorry for you not realizing this ?

I used a disposable email service to receive the ebook. This is the permalink to the attached ebook: https://rainmail.xyz/attachments/nginx@filerpost.xyz/143/Clo...

I’m an enterprise architect in a place which operates more than 500 different IT systems. I’m on the receiving end of the kind of things this signup will lead to, a lot, really you have no idea how many times I’m contacted.

It’s completely anecdotal but contacting me the way nginx and parters will after I’ve received the free ebook will only do them harm. My department has never taken anyone up on the offerings, and if they don’t include a working unsubscribe link, then you end up blocked companywide.

The free ebook is a lot of good will though, and I’ll remember where it came from. So if it’s good it was a much better investment than whatever usage they’ll get from my email.

Forcing you to give consent to receive a newsletter in order to download the ebook is not the way to go

Nobody is forcing you. You don't have to fill the form if you don't want. Exchanging the book for your email seems a fair deal to me.

Google runs on its own container system, Borg. Kubernetes is a free reimplementation of Borg sponsored by Google.

You have an issue with people taking companies at their word and providing ways to get things for free just as they claimed it would be?

As I said in the other comment, everyone can value their contact information themselves, but I guess that most people value them >0. And >0 is not free, otherwise the company would not have any reason to get them.
