As I said, it’s definitely possible. We did create and maintain our own clusters. That’s way more expensive and time consuming than using existing offering from public clouds, and you are in your own in case of issues. Your competitors who don’t have that kind of requirements can build and iterate on their products way faster.
I had the pure opposite compared to AWS, with own Cloud we safe d around 80% expenses, calculated with additional manpower about 35%...but still 35% is really something.
This. Worst-case you end up being forced to use some terribly implemented private cloud solution which ends up being even more expensive and time consuming than deploying your own hardware.
I don’t know if you’re joking or not, in the case of those fintech projects I’ve been part of a migration to k8s. That was already in progress 3 years ago when I joined the company, and it wasn’t completed when I left beginning of this year.
Managing your own k8s in production isn’t a simple task at all :(
That is true, i was asked to implement k8s in 6 month, they said so i have plenty of time to find all problem (i try'd really hard not to start laughing)
