Reinventing The Cube
- A look at the mainstream
According to some articles like:
[*] "Cheapest way to run Kubernetes on Azure"
one of the cheapest way to have Kubernetes running as a development environment is to have a single node .
The described setup here accounts for about 13 dollars per week, that makes it a bit more than 50 dollars per month.
A nice way to reduce further costs is to keep it off when you're not using the setup. Such a configuration in a Stopped state would cost about 5 dollars per week, say around 20 dollars a week.
As a developer, I am not terribly focused on the minutiae of application containerization,
what I care the most is the overall business value of the project, and that is provided in the business layers of the application.
- Some thoughts
Sure, I can do Docker, I can do k8s crazy stuff, but the real value is in the application code, not in the tools. If the business core of the application does something useful, and provided it behaves well, then the application has a value,
You don't achieve value just by adding resources spending, quite the opposite I would say.
In a nutshell, I would argue that most things need to be in support of the business requirements of the application, not the other way round.
