The Hidden Costs - How "free" is Kubernetes really?
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2021 · on Friday, 2021-10-15· at 15:25· Petree Hall D + Online·
summary
Kubernetes adoption uncovers many nonobvious costs: VM billing means container density matters, observability and audit logs can generate half a million euros/month, and ecosystem selection plus integrations consume time and budget. Upgrades and migrations are painful—Helm v3 upgrades require weeks—and legacy apps like Struts2 can expose metadata and enable lateral movement, driving a need for zero trust architecture. Use managed offerings or distributions such as Rancher, Kubermatic, Giant Swarm, OpenShift and budget for security, tooling, and training.
