At the Kubecon EU event in March, Beda delivered a keynote address in which he said that, Kubernetes sucks.” Beda’s basic thesis was that Kubernetes, while powerful can be difficult for some to use.
With ksonnet, Beda said the goal is to change that situation. “We’re taking a really sober look at user experience,” Beda said. “Kubernetes has good bones, but I think there are some gaps that need to be bridged, ksonnet is really us putting a down payment and our code where my mouth is and make kubernetes suck less.”
