Over the past year, Kubernetes — also known as K8s — has become a dominant topic of conversation in the infrastructure world. Given its pedigree of literally working at Google-scale, it makes sense that people want to bring that kind of power to their DevOps stories; container orchestration turns many tedious and complex tasks into something as simple as a declarative config file.
The rise of orchestration is predicated on a few things, though. First, organizations have moved toward breaking up monolithic applications into microservices. However, the resulting environments have hundreds (or thousands) of these services that need to be managed. Second, infrastructure has become cheap and disposable — if a machine fails, it's dramatically cheaper to replace it than triage the problems.
