Rolling Your Own Application Platform

Text on the meme

So you want to roll your own application platform. All you need is: Linux Docker Kubernetes Istio Prometheus Fluentd Grafana Jaeger Harbor Open Policy Agent Vault Spinnaker and Jenkins Oh, almost forgot, you're also going to need servers, people, and glue. Bring lots of glue.

What it means

Kelsey Hightower posts a tongue-in-cheek list of tools needed to build and operate your own application platform, ending with the need for servers, people, and “lots of glue.” The joke is that assembling a modern infrastructure stack is far more complicated and labor-intensive than the opening sentence suggests. It is shared as a reaction to overambitious platform engineering plans and the hidden operational complexity of Kubernetes ecosystems.
