Congrats on moving forward with a big decision!
I'm very optimistic about
containers, so it's exciting to see movement in this area.
Is there a larger arc of using this for our own services (Mediawiki,
RESTBase, etc.), potentially in production?
Hi Brian,
I think we said this somewhere before, but yes we will consider if
kubernetes is a viable platform to run services in production onto.
But Kubernetes is much more than just "containers", it is a
distributed computing environment directly derived by Google's own
Borg system. I think it's a good candidate to be a platform to run
some services onto, but probably not mediawiki or Restbase for the
time being.
Cheers,
Giuseppe
