I'm using Terraform to deploy Docker containers. Terraform's docker_container resource has a lovely 'upload' feature which one can use to upload files into the container. I make Terraform load server config files (or use multi-line strings in the .tf file), perform variable replacement, then destroy Docker containers and recreate them with updated config files. All persistent data is stored in directories bind-mounted into the Docker container. Terraform has some limitations. For example, one deployment cannot deploy hosts and their containers [1]. And there is no usable support for rolling deployments [2, 3]. So I've ended up with a 4-stage deployment: host-set1, containers on host-set1, host-set2, containers on host-set2. I also use Terraform to deploy the servers to my laptop during development. Docker for Mac works well. Someda

Can you point me to a good doc on deploying a small production service on k8s? The official documentation provides a super simple tutorial, and then nothing. There's not even documentation of the primary config file. Frustrating. https://github.com/kubernetes/website/issues/19139

I started learning Kubernetes and was overwhelmed. The biggest problem was the missing docs. I filed a Github issue asking for missing Kubernetes YAML docs: https://github.com/kubernetes/website/issues/19139 Google will ignore it like all of the tickets I file. The fact is that Google is in the business of making money and they are focused on enterprise users. Enterprise users are not sensitive to integration difficulty since they can just throw people at any problems. So eventually everything Google makes will become extremely time-consuming to learn and difficult to use. They're becoming another Oracle.
