It also abstracts away the underlying $cloud (also for the benefit of ops of release teams). It's not uncommon to use (say) AWS for public-facing workloads and some internal vSphere or RHV setup for more secure workloads. Having the same k8s interface for both is nice for the release/ops teams.

yeah, definitely this too. also you can shift teams to / from different types of underlying machines (eg moving to or from VMs) with much less hassle

The whole "Hybrid Cloud" concept is a bit of a hype train, but it will be interesting if it becomes a reality. In the same way that most people don't care much about the brand of HW they run their Linux on, k8s makes it so you don't need to care what cloud you run on.

But cloud providers really don't want this; they'd prefer you lock into their cloud. So to differentiate themselves, they'll have to provide better/cheaper service, reliability, unique features, etc. It seems good for the consumer.

"You don't care what cloud you run on " doesn't work for anything beyond a toy workload. If you actually want your stuff to be performant and not burn money you need to architect it to towards the norms of the platform you are on. Trying to use something like AWS or GCP and not using their services for the stateful bits will lead to sadness.

k8s is great for sticking stateless containers in, but it's not going to help with the differences between kinesis MSK and pubsub. Or big query and redshift

That's "Multi-cloud."

"Hybrid-cloud" is using a public cloud like AWS for parts of your infrastructure that you need to scale rapidly, like internet ingress/egress or public facing load-balancing, and having your base-load services running in your own data-centers on your own servers.

truth

in fact, most existing deployments are hybrid cloud, mostly due to legacy systems or regulatory requirements.

the closest i ever got to hybrid cloud was the Enterprise company that globally managed VPC CIDR blocks because something something direct connect, even for teams that would never, ever be peering with the legacy DCs. nope, we were still required to put in an application and get approval for every measly /24. one time we made a special appeal with justifications for getting a /20 (the biggest contiguous subnet you could get), and the review board gave us a /21 instead

k8s poo poo is like 60% dealing with the weird idiosyncrasies of the different providers and places where the k8s spec doesn't fill in all the details

it does a good job of providing a standard language for managing and interacting with container fleets, but the stock infrastructure glue is only the bare minimum

Hell "cloud" in general doesn't make financial sense for any company with significant internet egress/ingress. Of course if the plans of the executives are just to cash out, then it makes a lot more sense.

They may be able to get a good deal comparable to getting DIA etc from a traditional carrier, but they will still pay for inter-AZ data-transfer costs and storage. My company has a massive presence in AWS and our datatransfer costs are >50% of our total AWS costs and lol datatransfer alone is almost equal to our monthly spend for our physical DCs.

The cloud is for companies who have elastic workloads, and might need to double or triple their capacity at certain times of year

Also if you are a large customer and still finding AWS/GCP/Azure insanely expensive the person doing the negotiation for your company is not very good at their job.

you can often find interesting deals when you voltron a couple partnered providers together too. Like if you use Azure backends for your website, and use Fastly for CDN, you don't pay Azure anything for egress traffic. we worked out a deal there

I think this really depends on your workload, right? I just finished working at an adtech spot with a large (idk what i'm allowed to say exactly but as the primary aws implementation rear end in a top hat i saw all the bills) aws presence and data transfer was in the 10-25% of total spend per region. Most of it was compute since as a DSP we had a shitload of free ingress traffic with comparatively rather small response traffic.

The numbers crunch just fine in that scenario, and while it is still cheaper to host it yourself, adtech is all about following that demand curve as profitably as possible so the elasticity usually ends up being a huge win

The biggest issue we had was when someone spun up a huge kafka cluster across 6 AZs which started incurring geometrically increasing transfer fees as the brokers started doing replication poo poo

afaik, for static payloads a CDN is one the cheapest ways to host anything that will be burst downloaded by hundreds of thousands or millions of people in a short amount of time. Definitely a change from 10years ago WoW updates.

Yea our data transfer costs aren't from internet egress, but from inter-region S3 writes/reads, cross AZ and cross account transfers (prod->dev and customers), and direct-connect costs. We ingest a ton of data into AWS from our customers but that part is free.

the value of the words 'hybrid cloud' depends on who it's come from - if its coming from traditional tin vendors like Dell or Vmware then its them trying to stay relevant and talking stupid poo poo about how the cloud is fine for dev test but not production. if it's coming from actual companies that have found value in it then it's more useful.
