If you& #39;re chasing Kubernetes because that& #39;s what the tech giants use you should know

Google uses Borg
Facebook uses systemd
Twitter uses mesos
Netflix uses mesos

I& #39;m not sure what Amazon or Microsoft use but I guarantee it& #39;s not k8s
I understand that k8s is used at a ton of places and it& #39;s the future for many organizations. My main point is you don& #39;t have to use k8s to be successful with containers or infrastructure
When I tweeted this two years ago it was true. I know Twitter and Google are using some K8s internally but the meaning of the tweet is still true.

Don& #39;t chase a technology because someone else is doing it.
I& #39;m playing devil& #39;s advocate in a lot of replies here. I& #39;ve seen K8s solve real business problems. I& #39;ve also seen K8s cause a lot of problems where much simpler solutions would have been better
