I just got flashbacks of stuff I forgot long ago like OpenStack and EMC Rex-ray and so many things like that https://www.openstack.org https://github.com/rexray/rexray

A casual, first-hand association with earlier infrastructure projects, with links; minor but harmless.

I am seeing a lot of openstack around since Broadcom enraged the vast majority of their vmware customers

Short firsthand observation of OpenStack's resurgence after Broadcom's VMware changes; cynicism about a company is fine.

Can’t regular Kubernetes also deploy to GPUs?

Can’t regular Kubernetes also deploy to GPUs?

Genuine short question that gets at why this project exists.

This is what happens when AI generates your PR – FAQ. Describe what the product does versus just a data dump.

Blunt but real criticism of the documentation: it dumps data instead of explaining what the product does.

I’m usually in agreement with this sentiment, but they do say what it is in the first paragraph.

“NVIDIA Kubernetes® Engine (NVKE) provides the management plane that platform teams install to create and operate Kubernetes clusters for their customers.”

Polite disagreement that quotes the README to show the product is in fact described.

Ok, so say I have a platform team to install k8s or k3s. Why do I need NVKE? Also, how do I resell my kubernetes to customers? Like is there stripe integration?

I am more confused by its description than by just reading the product name and guessing.

Genuine questions about the product's purpose, with a blunt but fair note of confusion aimed at the description.

That doesn’t say anything. It doesn’t answer a single question I would have.

Blunt but plain disagreement that the quoted description is uninformative; no swipe at a person.

A mention of something Kubernetes related reached the front page! A few years ago, BAI, there was one or more k8s headlines gracing HN's front page at all times.

Kinda glad that ended. k8s is fine and all, but it was a bit much for a while there.

Light, non-hostile observation about Kubernetes hype; the reply about "BAI" needs it to make sense.

Did you just make an acronym that means "before AI"?

A genuine, light question about the parent's acronym, with no hostility.

I did, but I'm not the first. I thought maybe I was, so I checked: apparently it's been bouncing around informally among academics for a while now. I hadn't previously seen it though, so I can at least say I came up with it independently.

I come up with things from time to time. At least one US registered trademark is mine.

Friendly, good-faith answer to a direct question, though minor and a bit self-referential.

Future history books will be like: ancient legacy technology conglomerate Google was founded around 24BAI

Pure joke riffing on the acronym, with no underlying point.
