Since Kubernetes turns ten this year, I spent some time reflecting on how Kubernetes completely redefined my career. Eight years ago, I was racking servers, running Puppet (poorly), and struggling to make our service highly available using Corosync, Pacemaker, and HAProxy. Rotating certificates was a nightmare process every year and managing DNS zones manually with Bind9 was awful. (Just a note that these technologies have all continued to develop; my comments apply to my experience in 2016.) Were there other tools and methods that could have made my life better back then? Probably. Did I inherit a lot of technical debt that could have been handled better? Definitely. What we really needed was a change in how we managed large-scale workloads.
