The State of Open Source Cloud

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Argues for using cloud as commodity infrastructure and running open source on top, with Kubernetes as the API and concrete pieces: CSI for storage, Prometheus for observability, k3s for lightweight clusters. Calls out vendor tactics like Aurora as embrace‑extend example and rising costs (RDS price growth and startups reporting big cloud bills), and cites a surprising metric: 50% growth in DB on Kubernetes in one year. Notes many DBaaS are built on k8s but day‑two database ops remain fragile.
