Build a web application based on it, deliver code for Azure Functions packaged as a container image. You can use containers in many places without Kubernetes. At least there is no real contender right now, other than the serverless approach to running code.
They simplify the developers’ workflow and the process of solution delivery to the environment (dear god, all the dependencies in the local OS to manage…). Want to know more about containers? Check out this introductory videoĬontainers are a way to package and deliver the application code. They won the war on it (sorry if you bet on something else). Yes, Kubernetes is by far the most popular platform to manage and orchestrate solutions based on containers. It is hard to do, but I think it is good to spend a few lines on it. Let’s separate containers from Kubernetes “Let’s do it on Kubernetes because everyone is doing it” is neither the right task nor the right context. My point: Even if it is a buzzword, it might be a good solution for you if you use it for the right task and in the right context. Just substitute “data lake” with “Kubernetes”: There is no better way to illustrate this point but this ironic, yet very true thread by Simon Wardley. The key point is that you know why you are using it and what it gives you. Is it a good tool, practice or method to deliver on this particular user need in this solution? (There’s no “one size fits it all!”)Īnd by the way: First, you need to answer the question of “Who is your user and what need are you solving?”.Įven if it is on everyone’s lips but it does the job for you and builds your advantage, it might be a solution for you.
How does it help you to deliver on your user needs?.Why are you using it? (and “Because everybody else is”, is not a good answer!).The question is – does it stay a buzzword, or does it become “a thing”? Here’s my take – technology is a buzzword in your context if you can’t answer these questions: It gains traction and people talk about it. Every technology is a buzzword at some point. It is how the world fueled by marketing (among other things) works. Deep inside, we are geeks (and it is not a bad thing).Īnd so every new idea at some point becomes a buzzword. We fall in love with new technology, frameworks, architecture, tools… you name it. In IT we are especially prone to using them. Is Kubernetes a buzzword?īuzzwords are all around us. Why may Kubernetes be the right choice?.
