Copied from Wikipedia because I didn’t know:
Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist, although the principle is much older. As with similar "laws" (e.g., Murphy's law), it is intended to be humorous rather than the literal truth.

#6The funny thing about Kubernetes is that I read somewhere that it's not actually widely used within Google (please correct me if I'm wrong). Given that's it's a complicated piece of software and that Google has extremely complicated requirements, that's pretty concerning. To me, we've barely starting to solve deployments, the idea of Kubernetes seems a little ahead of it's time. If you're using GPC I do hear it's really great. But then, what's the huge benefit of Kubernetes in the first place? A tiny bit less of vendor lock in?

Kubernetes is newer than Google's Borg infrastructure I understand.

#9kubernetes is a classic case of a tool designed for consultants and companies to sell consulting services (Including cloud services, which is why every cloud provider leapt onto it).
In like 90% of the cases when someone used Kubernetes, Docker Swarm would have easily sufficed.

#10Running OpenShift has felt like early Rails to me. You can get started with a hosted version, switch to on AWS easily and dive deep down into Kubernetes whenever you feel ready. It is also opinionated so it’s easy to get started on the golden path and modify it to suit your needs. The only real frustration has been upgrading clusters which has gotten easier each new release.
