    • QUOTE: ... “If you take a look just at the Kubernetes ecosystem, Kubernetes has no concept of an application,” he explained. “It’s got the concept of a deployment and services, but nothing that coherently connects these things together into one unit and deployment lifecycle that a developer would understand in the way they look at their applications.” He argues that while Kubernetes has Helm charts, once an application is deployed, Kubernetes doesn’t know about the relationships between the objects that were represented in that chart. “We need a first-class application concept in a Kubernetes cluster.”

      OAM is essentially a YAML file. It can be put in a service catalog or marketplace and deployed from there. But what’s maybe most important, says Russinovich, is that the developer can hand off the specification to the ops team and the ops team can then deploy it without having to talk to the developer. He also argues that Kubernetes itself is too complicated for enterprise developers. “At this point, it’s really infrastructure-focused,” he said. “You want a developer to focus on the app. What we saw when we talked to Kubernetes shops, they don’t let developers near Kubernetes.” …

    • QUOTE: … Kubernetes has quickly become a key technology in the emerging containerized application environment since it was first announced by Google engineers just more than three years ago, catching hold as the primary container orchestration tool used by hyperscalers, HPC organizations and enterprises and overshadowing similar tools like Docker Swarm, Mesos and OpenStack. Born from earlier internal Google projects Borg and Omega, the open-source Kubernetes …

    • QUOTE: … we consider Kubernetes a "container cluster manager." Lots of folks call projects in this area "orchestration systems," but … Managing a Kubernetes cluster is more like an improve jazz performance. It is a dynamic system that reacts to conditions and inputs in real time. So, what makes a container cluster? Is it a dynamic system that places and oversees sets of containers and the connections between them? Sure, that and a bunch of compute nodes (either raw physical servers or virtual machines).
