> If you can't express concretely why you want a container fleet, you don't want a container fleet.

I think this applies to most relatively new (hype cycle) technologies.




It does, but relatively few of those technologies have the desperate money being shoveled into their marketing in the way that containers in particular (and non-RDBMS datastores, to a lesser extent) have. So those tend to get called out explicitly because no, unless you are profoundly out of the ordinary, you don't need a hot new Kubernetes cluster on day one.


Exactly. I have seen this container hype exploding in recent years. A quick example: I worked for a stratup who spends ~60% of their AWS budget of operating Kubernetes and roughly ~40% on their own services. I asked their chief IT guy why is that and he could not justify it with anything other than Kubernetes is cool.
