Re: [kubernetes-users] Docker vs K8s API

Thanks Tim and Ahmet, that is exactly what I was looking for. I am basically circumventing kubernetes and going straight to the minimize backend. Now everything makes sense. On Fri, Jun 2, 2017 at 6:27 PM 'Ahmet Alp Balkan' via Kubernetes user discussion and Q

Re: [kubernetes-users] Docker vs K8s API

To refine this. Kubectl does an API call. That API call does an etcd write and sync. Then the API has to notify the watching kubelet, which has to ultimately do that docker run. So, by definition, it can't be as fast because kunernetes is an async decoupling ON TOP of the thing you're

Re: [kubernetes-users] Docker vs K8s API

To echo what Matthias has said, Kubernetes is doing a lot more housekeeping work behind the scenes than just docker run. You can see Kube is adding about one second of overhead. If your containers typically run for a just a second or two, that is probably not a good fit for Kube (or even

Re: [kubernetes-users] Docker vs K8s API

Thanks Matthias, yes this is a bit of a problem for my use case. Ideally I'd like to run a fresh container every time that is why I am trying to do this. The weird thing is that Kubernetes is the backend in both cases, I am just using the Docker API in one case and the kubernetes one in the other.

Re: [kubernetes-users] Docker vs K8s API

Is this difference a problem for your use case? Kubernetes does do more work before a pod starts. If you need low-latency execution you'll have to use long-running worker processes of some form. Once it's started, it should be just as fast. On Fri, Jun 2, 2017 at 2:13 PM Diego Lapiduz

Re: [kubernetes-users] Docker vs K8s API

This is a very short lived task (just runs `echo hello`) so the only thing I really care about is getting that `hello` back. This is what I did in text format: ``` ➜ eval $(minikube docker-env) ➜ time docker run dlapiduz/hello-world hello docker run dlapiduz/hello-world 0.07s user 0.02s

It runs faster or it starts faster? The gif clear too quickly for me to see. On Thu, Jun 1, 2017 at 9:09 PM, Diego Lapiduz wrote: > Hi y'all, (k8s noob here so forgive me if this is something that I am > doing obviously wrong) > > I am trying to run a short lived task and I

[kubernetes-users] Docker vs K8s API

Hi y'all, (k8s noob here so forgive me if this is something that I am doing obviously wrong) I am trying to run a short lived task and I am trying to move from Docker Swarm to Kubernetes. An interesting issue that I am finding is that running the same Docker image on the same minikube cluster
