Bare-Metal or Virtualized #Kubernetes? ๐ค
How do you use Kubernetes? Bare-Metal, Virtualized, Fully Managed? ๐งต๐
Our CEO @robpankow has a clear opinion. There is no good reason to run Kubernetes virtualized. Unless you want to waste worthwhile hardware resources that is.
Containerization is a thin layer baked into the operating system, typically Linux, to isolate processes into their own namespaces, nothing else.
See the difference for yourself!

๐ก Scalable architectures, two concepts: ๐๐๐๐ก๐-๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐-๐๐ช๐ฉ
But when to use one over the other?
In this blog post, our very own @noctarius2k, wrote about the pros and cons of each of the approaches. Simplicity and limited scalability vs complexity and higher scalability.
He also explains how simplyblock is implemented and why we did what we did ๐ฅ
