K8s is a great platform with many options, but many decision makers have little knowledge (or don’t research) the implication of their choices.
I hate how true this statement is within the industry. To many of these C-level executives base decisions off whatever CEO summit they recently attended.
“Every app to use microservices!111!”
“Hybrid cloud. We are doing it”
“Serverless, let’s start using this”
“We are fully going to the cloud!11!!”
Then when the results come in, the complaints start rolling in:
1) wHy iS aPp SlOwEr (after MSA)
2) gUys, iNfRaStruCtUrE cost is SoArInG (shifting to “cloud”)
3) the ApP is ToO cOmPlEx (after MSA, and “serverless”)
Some of these aging dinosaurs need to be put out to pasteur
AFAIK, the virus of C-suite IT bad ideas doesn't discriminate on the basis of age.
