How are you handling session management? After a user logs into the application are they going to the same instance?

bruinjoeon Four years after its release, Kubernetes has come a long way

You hit it on the head. Weave Net is participating in the Istio project. I hope they can bring WeaveNet to Istio. That might be able to provide a multi cloud vendor service mesh.

bruinjoeon Four years after its release, Kubernetes has come a long way

I see a lot of value in Kubernetes. For one thing I don't want to wake up at 1 AM if one of my node goes down and brings down with it important containers. If I scaled the environment with excess capacity then Kubernetes should start up new pods on the remaining nodes.

bruinjoeon Young People Need Another Gold Rush

This is so true. The younger generation got hosed because the older generation screwed up in a big way. Our country had a chance to clean house during the 2008 financial melt down. The big banks failing would have caused a horrible economy but we would've flushed Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Bank of America, AIG, and a host of other leaches down the drain. Check out the historical prices of Goldman Sachs from 2007 to late 2008 if you don't believe me. The market was anticipating the bankruptcy of Goldman Sachs and this company is supposed to be the pillar of Wall Street.

Our economy would have recovered by now but we live in an even more distorted world. Risk is not priced correctly because interest rates are too low. Take Amazon for example. They can borrow at low rates to acquire an overpriced company in Whole Foods. Had Amazon borrowed at say 8% then the transaction is a lot riskier. This miss pricing of risk is radically distorting the economy throughout the country and there will be bad consequences. Those at the bottom of the economy will have the worst time and that includes recent high school and college graduates who will be looking for the few entry level positions.
