Things I Don’t Know as of 2018
This is an awesome article! I like the idea of being more forthcoming with what we don&#x27;t know.<p>&gt; Containers. I have no idea about how to use Docker or Kubernetes. (Are those related?) I have a vague idea that they let me spin up a separate VM in a predictable way. Sounds cool but I haven’t tried it.<p>&gt; Deployment and devops. I can manage to send some files over FTP or kill some processes but that’s the limit of my devops skills.<p>I&#x27;m working hard on trying to tease out a method to educate developers about DevOps &#x2F; Kubernetes... It&#x27;s hard to explain to people who have not been on-call or walked into a company on their first day as a devops, but I am strongly in the camp of &quot;Kubernetes is live-saving, game-changing, etc&quot;. I tend to fail to explain to most product-focused developers successfully - Either too low level, too high level and hand-wavey, or they walk away with a sense of &quot;man one day, that might be cool&quot;, rather than &quot;We could get going on this _today_!&quot;. The most success I&#x27;ve had is in demonstrations (I have a raspberry Pi Kube cluster with 4 pies, with which I can physically unplug power, network, disk, etc and show off Kube&#x27;s self-healing and auto-discovery powers), but at companies with day to day stresses, not so much. Plus the demo only scratches the service of cool features of even the Deployment API object.<p>Shameless self promo, but I&#x27;m working on a project with a friend that hopefully helps. I want product-focused developers to have a &quot;Heroku&quot; moment about kube and understand the immense benefits they get from designing their applications with a &quot;cloud-native&quot; mindset. That the small cost is _vastly_ worth the benefit. The project is here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kubesail.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kubesail.com&#x2F;</a>.<p>My &quot;thing I dont know as of 2018&quot;, just for good measure: How to build complex front-end applications without making a complete mess of things!
