We're Leaving Kubernetes
After six years of running our CDE on Kubernetes we've learned Kubernetes is not the right choice for us. Here's why.
What constitutes a security concern for production workloads, is expected behavior of development environments: getting root access, extended network capabilities and control over the system (e.g. mounting additional filesystems). Dynamic resource allocation introduced with Kubernetes 1.26 means one no longer needs to deploy a DaemonSet and modify cgroups directly, possibly at the expense of the control loop speed and hence effectiveness. Now that we’re no longer carrying the heavy weight of the Kubernetes platform, Gitpod Flex can be deployed self-hosted in less than three minutes and in any number of regions, giving more fine-grained control on compliance and added flexibility when modeling organizational boundaries and domains.
