11 5 years of kubernetes and looking to the future
summary
Kubernetes moves from risky bet to industry default while many operational gaps remain concrete: a homemade backup script dumps cluster state to git shows early tooling work, an operator demo actually deploys OpenVPN and proves CRDs can replace scripts, and Crossplane promises real infra by letting Kubernetes API provision cloud RDS services. Key trends are operators, Cluster API for bootstrapping, OpenTelemetry for observability, and a persistent security problem where many Helm charts still ask for cluster-admin privileges and network policies are rarely applied.
