  • Kubernetes is where Oxide, from my armchair, doesn't yet quite match the public cloud.

    On AWS EKS Fargate, each pod runs in its own dedicated VM. With Oxide each k8s node is a VM, so you still need something like Talos.

    On networking it looks like it is getting closer. Where you can have external subnet give pod routed IPs without overlay. But the gap, as marked by the article, is also the load balancing.

    It would be nice if Kubernetes were a native feature out-of-the-box. Also integrated within the existing user/access control.

  • Love to see the CAPOx provider and buy in to Cluster API

  • Disclaimer: I'm totally biased here.

    I talked with a colleague from Oxide in 2024 about your Kubernetes story and he said back then "not yet but soon-ish". Seems like soon-ish is now :)

    We said we'd talk again when that happens but he's since left Oxide. If you (or well...your customers) are interested in a Kubernetes native data platform 100% open source we'd be very happy to talk about how that could work easily. As it's "just" Kubernetes it should be trivial but we'd be happy to test and add you to our list: https://docs.stackable.tech/home/stable/kubernetes/#supporte...

    The offer stands. If you're interested, my mail is in my HN profile. https://stackable.tech

  • Great post.

    ClusterAPI never got the love that it should. I spent a good amount of time on it at VMware, as Tanzu heavily leverages it for cluster deployment (mostly CAP-A and CAP-V). It's basically kubeadm + the spirit of Terraform, Kubernetes controller edition. There's lots of great enterprise-ready options for centralized k8s cluster fleet management these days, but it works really well for folks that are all-in on GitOps and such.

  • I would absolutely kill for them to open source their documentation system.

  • I have seldom wanted anything as much as I want an Oxide rack at home. Maybe in 40 years we'll start to see the first ones show up in surplus auctions...

  • I'm interested to see how the `oxide-cloud-controller-manager` is being built for "modern" Kubernetes and if it leads to any signify difference compared to CCMs that originated in-tree. Given the way Oxide engineer their solutions this could be really interesting.

    FYI I've got `karpenter-provider-oxide` on my bingo card...
