I ported my company over to k8s to solve a concurrency and scaling issues.

What 15 concepts? You're making me worry that I missed something. It was straight forward: pods, nodes, hw type, lifecycle, deployment. They run almost the same docker as the old ec2s used.

What did I miss? Is there something important I need to read?

Lol no you got em

I would say:

- deployments - pods -services - ingress - namespaces - cert-manager - external DNS - external secrets - configmaps - hpa - docker - volumes/pvc

That's the basics

It’s the pineapple on pizza of ops, people just like to fit in sometimes.

I’ve been running my own personal k8s cluster on digital ocean for the last 5+ years now and it’s dead simple.

Takes me 30 minutes to create a new namespace a deploy an app, love the bonus of having complete flexibility on my stack too — PVC + SQLite ftw

Ghost ship status is not something most orgs aspire to.

The value built on that stability was probably worth acquiring, and it’s infra will decay.
