Kubernetes as a service? Working in public cloud, you probably hear more and more news about it. Right?
So many choices? What are things we need to be aware of, before I need to suggest one to my project? Here are things I usually examine. Discuss with me, if you’re also interested.
Apparently Google GKE in the leading role of public kubernetes market. And several key competitors like Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, Digitalocean DKS, or others(you name it).
Which one to choose for my project, if I want to host my workload as containers in public cloud?
The good news is most competitors are providing or will provide similar features like GKE. So they will look more and more similar. That’s why people call it cloud native.
But they may not be the same. Two reasons. It takes time to match up. Besides different player may have different strategies. This would make the game even more interesting!
Comparing to on-prem envs, running in public cloud is different by nature. There are things we need to be aware up-front.
Here are considerations I will seriously look into.
