Kubernetes is becoming boring and that’s a good thing — it’s what’s on top of Kubernetes that counts.

In this The New Stack Analysts podcast, TNS founder and Publisher Alex Williams asked KubeCon attendees to join him for a short “stack” at our “Virtual Pancake and Podcast” to discuss “What’s on your stack?”

The podcast featured guest speakers Janakiram MSV, principal analyst, Janakiram & Associates; Priyanka Sharma, general manager, Cloud Native Computing Foundation; Patrick McFadin, chief evangelist for Apache Cassandra and vice president, developer relations, DataStax; and Bill Zajac, regional director of solution engineering, Dynatrace. The group passed the virtual syrup and talked Kubernetes.

Kubernetes may not be completely boring yet, but it is getting very close — and that’s a good thing, Sharma explained.

“Kubernetes is solid and mature — and that’s equivalent to boring. And I say ‘kudos’ to the community and the ecosystem for getting there,” she said. “I think in all seriousness this is not something to underestimate just because all of the hard work that goes into making something stable and reliable.”

Much work remains to be done, even as the core technology of Kubernetes approaches boring. Many sectors still lag in its adoption, such as the telecommunications industry.
