Wat. Kubernetes is not an OS. It’s an orchestration system. It orchestrates docker containers which run... Linux. This article was vomited out by someone without even the most basic understanding of what they are talking about.
Or maybe I am missing the joke? Is this a deliberately absurd article?
It's an somewhat provactive when stated that shortly as a thesis, but the thrust is Kubernetes has significant more value as an _economic concern_, not as a _system critical engineering component_ like the HN comments are taking it.
With the evidence cited, it is a powerful argument
Something tells me Linux guys/gals will still be the ones getting calls when the Kubernetes instance explodes.
Haha. Yep.
Something tells me we'll all stop hearing about Kubernetes someday but we'll still be talking about Linux.s
I'm impressed. This article reads like a successful troll post during the golden era of Slashdot.
Holy popups on that site. There was a thick "want more InfoWorld" banner in the center of the page for most of the visit.
I've seen this statement many times... But does Kubernetes run on hardware natively? Of course not. Does Kubernetes not use containers, which in turn use some kind of linux bootfs? Is Linux not more important than ever, since we now put Kubernetes into OpenStack to spawn thousands of containers..?
"Kubernetes is the new $X" generates a lot of clicks I guess...
Remember how Docker was the replacement of everything... 6 months ago? :)
People have been saying that since 2014 at the least. We're still waiting.
Kubernetes and Serverless...no hardware required :D
It just runs in the clouds!!!
This site is cancer, after clicking 5 popups, I was asked to sign in to read the full article.
Thank you all for giving this article the treatment it deserves.
