To be fair Kubernetes creates copies of the things it drops into the ocean to replace them as fast as they’re lost.

VMware

Now add VMs and proxmox

The ocean is fake

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

ECS/EKS: The ocean belongs to someone else.

Each container sk8s right off the deck.

Kubernetes is more stable than docker compose. Docker compose is fishing for containers after the ship capsized. Frustrating and nothing works out of the box.

[–] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 4 months ago

Huh? All my docker compose projects work fine 'out of the box', the oldest ones have been stable for years now.

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

I personally really enjoy interacting with docker compose and I've successfully used docker compose to get a 0 downtime setup on my company's internal web servers by using a reverse proxy

Docker Compose brought "works on my machine" to the cloud.

If replacing an existing server, make sure to wipe the disk during install.

Talos is great

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Is it production-ready?

I'm thinking of setting it up on an OVH bare metal dedicated server to run various sites and Docker processes, but I don't want to handle Kubernetes myself.

[–] timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You always have to manage kubernetes. And talos is nothing but a ready to do k8s os.

If you don't want kubernetes I'd suggest something like fedora coreos.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm ok with k8s, I'm just chicken shit because I've never had an opportunity to use them in prod.

How does Talos differ from something like Ubuntu with microk8s?

[–] timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

The only way to interact with it is using talosctl (no ssh, very minimal console, etc.) It is pretty slim and designed only to use k8s. Ubuntu on the other hand is general purpose that can be made to use k8s.

Basically the idea being that your nodes are also cattle.

It's very interesting. I'm debating moving from fedora coreos to it. About to spin up a test cluster whenever I have free time.

[–] towerful@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago

I was aware of kubernetes 6 months ago, but had never used it.
I got a 3 node cluster running in a day, and was learning kubernetes.
The only issues I've had were due to hardware failure causing etcd instability, and misconfigured operators generating terabytes of logs leading to pod eviction.

I don't know what would signify it being production ready. It had all the levers and knobs I needed. I haven't yet needed to run a sysadmin debug container to poke around the host OS.
It's also great for learning. If you make a mistake, it's very easy to wipe and reinstall and get back to where you were.

Suddenly, thousands of sneakers wash ashore all over Ireland and everybody is trying to pair them up.

Where is openshift in this?

[–] Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 4 months ago (2 children)

The ship is painted red and a few containers are bolted to it, rather than use provided.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget the exorbitant fees by Red Hat.

[–] Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 months ago

If you use much of the software that is included in the support package, then the price seems reasonable. No way you could get the same price if you went to each provider individually. If all you use is bare bones openshift, then you're right.

[–] DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

This is the most accurate description I can think of.
