So based on the article, Autopilot is designed for GKE??? (https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes...)

I'm learning Kubernetes and is deploying my own test cluster on my ARM-based board at this very moment, and I already spend 3 days on K3s and have to give up due to a problem (https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/issues/2509#issuecomment-78657...). I must say, this is way way harder than Docker Swarm.

Just want to know, will Google actually make Kubernetes a bit more friendlier for general non-GKE users?




Disclosure: I am a Googler on GKE

Google actually works a huge amount with the community to simplify Kubernetes across a number of SIGs. Its always a trade of increased flexibility and options as people use it for more workloads, versus simplicity.

Autopilot is just for GKE. You can use GKE on other clouds and also onprem (bare metal or VMs with Anthos)


Actually, deploy Kubernetes is not that hard after I learned the few concepts.

However, I found myself spend too much time on finding out what settings should be put into which files. I really hope there is a tool that can help users to generate and configure these settings.

I think a good example of this is `npm config edit`. When invoked, it'll open the correct config file, and list all available settings with their default values. User can then enable those settings by uncomment them as needed.

Maybe add similar functionalities into those CLI tools (kubeadm, kubectl etc) could greatly improve user-friendliness?
