That is super useful. Thank you.
Yes, we've been running a Kubernetes cluster on AWS, built with kops, for about a year. Very happy with it, but there have been some organizational pains getting everyone on board. Nothing I would fault Kubernetes itself for.
Yes, we're running multiple k8s clusters on AWS. Only a few components are not there yet due to their too snowflaky deployment procedures, but we're getting there. So far everyone likes it and would recommend it.
We use GKE at Olark for the last year and have been very happy with it.
Have you faced issues setting up RBAC?
RBAC itself is enabled by default on new gke clusters afaik, and has been enabled on ours for months. We're a small team so we haven't tried to do anything particularly complex with RBAC inside the cluster, but I can't say I've run into anything particularly troublesome.
Yes I did several projects bringing Kubernetes to production. In the cloud a little easier then on-prem. But always a real enabler for everyone working with K8s.
Yes, My company uses GKE which is google's hosted Kubernetes engine!
Yes, multiple clusters in AWS in multiple regions.
since 2016, on aws. so far it's working wonder for us. we're a small team of 5.
