Setting object lifecycle policies is now more important than ever because of the changes to the pricing in Google Cloud Storage. If anyone's interested to optimize their Cloud Storage costs - check out https://www.economize.cloud. We are launching support for Cloud Storage this week.
I met Dan at Kubernetes Day Bangalore. He was so gentle and kind, I thanked him for hosting diversity scholarships. Great loss to the open-source community. RIP.
It is. K8s is an incredible tool but the expertise and time commitment to leverage it are too costly for many indie hackers, startups, and small businesses. You can reap the benefits without having to touch it. You can set up your Dev, Staging, and Production in a few minutes - pull your image from Dockerhub and then docker push all your updates directly into your cloud environment.
Ah, now I understand "bury" Kubernetes. I like this idea and agree on expertise. I want to use Kubernetes but I'm a developer, not a DevOps engineer. I also like Docker :)
AppOps is for developers on Kubernetes, so you can own your code full life cycle. DevOps now builds and maintains the shared pieces (logmon i.e.) and supports developers.
