I have had experiences where you do video interviews. When interviewing the audio is off and what is happening is the person answering is on speaker phone and the guy you are looking at is pretending to talk.

The simplest way to discover is ask the color of your shirt.

The overhead managing a container ecosystem to run production is not trivial. IF you are doing this in a service then by all means leverage that package methodology.

If you are managing your systems who already have a robust package management layer then adding the container stacks on top of managing the OS layers you have just doubled the systems your operations team is managing.

Containers also bring NAT and all sorts of DNS / DHCP issues that require extremely senior well rounded guys to manage.

Developers dont see this complexity and think containers are great.

Effectively containers moves the complexity of managing source code into infrastructure where you have to manage that complexity.

The tools to manage source code are mature. The tools to manage complex infrastructure are not mature and the people with the skills required to do so ... are rare.

What requirement is driving containers ?

How are you managing your infrastructure and if you have that already automated how much effort is it to add the software you develop to that automation vs the ROI of adding another layer of complexity ?

The idea everything needs to be in containers is similar to the idea everything needs to be in k8s.

Let the business needs drive the technology choices don't drive the business with the technology choices

Hate to tell you this but that second idea is much easier to manage from an operations standpoint and significantly more reliable.

Also easier to debug and monitor... but you run your business to make developers happy right ?

Running k8s on GKE is the only rational choice for anyone who isnt a large enterprise with a team of Google SREs to support k8s.

Period.

I would agree with that perspective. I knew a few farmers that owned it all but those have passed on.

When I was working on farms ( 30 yrs ago ) most farmers were still on property they owned. During that time I saw the shift to corporate farms and I dont know that answer as I have found less labor intensive work.

Most of the corporate structures I saw were family or a combination of family and friends.

The United States farm real estate value, a measurement of the value of all land and buildings on farms, averaged $3,140 per acre

While the average farm size has been increasing approximately two acres per farm each year since 2012, the number of farms is decreasing. Today, the average farm size is 444 acres.

444*3140 1,394,160

US average farmer is a millionaire. Go ask one if he feels rich.

You will notice the children who grow up to be the most productive tend to get the most support from their parents. I guess it depends on how much you want your kids to succeed vs how much you want to keep for yourself.

Typical income is 50k a year and it takes ~250k to raise a kid you are looking at 13,888k a year for the kid, after taxes

Children are extremely expensive. I have raised 4. You are broke the entire time and can always spend more on them.

In the US you are 1 medical incident from not affording anything and relying on welfare

You just need a bigger monitor. I hooked a 4k 42 inch LCD to my laptop and for the first time ever I had visible desktop space

How do you install the virtual machine software ? Where do you put the trust ?

Let's say for discussion that we allow this curl| bash process because it is from a "safe" source.

How do we come back next week and ensure some other process hasn't changed the files ?

Package your files with a signed system. Auditing the files is trivial after that.

A place to live where you can grow food without someone taking it away eliminates the homeless situation.

There is no other investment offering that security. Ask Etrade if you can have a place to live and food to eat if all your trades go wrong :)

If you look at a place to live as an investment vehicle you are simply looking at it wrong. A home which is paid for is a place you can live without fear of not being able to make the next rent payment.

A mortgage is a bit of a jail sentence. Saving money and purchasing a place to live is the right way to do it.

No one will tell you that because they dont make money from you putting your money in the market.
