While that might be the case, I wouldn’t be surprised if they let teams play with k8s as well. Besides, one should always look at these choices objectively; if Google + k8s is a better deal overall than AWS & Mesos, then you shouldnt let your earlier investments cloud your judgement.
I know both Kubernetes and Mesos quite well. To be frank, they're on two different levels - and I assume the smart(er than me) guys at Netflix know that as well.
Every one have/can express their own opinion being said that but speaking about some one dead recently on the merits of subjective term ('hero') is quite distasteful (IMHO) and makes me sad, makes me even sadder since it came from some one i respect.
I'm not a fan boy ( never owns a Apple made products so far) just that i don't think its going to constructive for any one around here, YMMV
Great day to quote from Dijkstra's good old article. At that time(1957) programming was not considered as a profession!
Extract from Humble Programmer[1]
"..in 1957, I married and Dutch marriage rites require you to state your profession and I stated that I was a programmer. But the municipal authorities of the town of Amsterdam did not accept it on the grounds that there was no such profession. And, believe it or not, but under the heading "profession" my marriage act shows the ridiculous entry "theoretical physicist"!.."
What a quote! I would have opted for exterminator — a satisfactorily legitimate profession, and a nice bit of tongue-in-cheek for those who know what is really meant.
As a child, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always answered that I wanted to kill bugs. Of course, this was a bit before our meaning of "bug" became common knowledge, so it always got a good laugh. I'm thrilled to have followed my childhood dream to be a part of this wonderful industry of err exterminators. Happy PD everybody!
He probably would not have chosen that. Another piece of Dijkstra lore is that he really hated the term "bug". He said that by using this term the programmer tried to avoid his responsibility for making correct programs by suggesting that errors somehow creep into your program out of their own volition through no fault of the programmer.
Dijkstra was really hard core in terms of correctness. He insisted that each programmer had to work out a mathematical proof that his program will always provide correct output for every single possible input, and submit that proof when submitting the program. Things did not work out that way.
Not really, Amazon web services launched Elastic Cache based on Memcache thats Dotcloud's meal. Since Amazon is mostly customer driven more the need for specific platform AWS will launch likely.
