@nixCraft I can’t wait to maintain someone’s implementation of Kubernetes written in Bash.

@anderseknert @nixCraft It seems to take as much bash to manage the K8S installation as it does to do the actual task.
Most distributed applications are smaller than the weight K8S brings on.

@Flux @nixCraft yes, and most non-distributed applications are smaller than the OS they run on.

@anderseknert @nixCraft which is frankly depressing. Because most people include the entire pile of user land in the measure of the OS. And almost nobody strips their kernels or user land down to the minimum. So we keep burning more power than we need to, if only keeping RAM refreshed. The all-in energy cost of large software, even its unused parts, hurts.
