Review on cri-o by John Murphy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very promising and unique platform to solve real-life challenges

The best part about this product by far has been its performance! I've never experienced such fast container startup times, nor have i ever had containers start up so quickly after rebooting my machine that it became unusable during testing/debugging time before they were ready.

At first there was no way we could see how many pods would be needed at launchtime because they took too long from launching until being usable again; however now with recent improvements in version 2+ we can actually visualize those numbers very nicely without having our users wait minutes or hours while waiting each iteration for new code deployments etc. We are solving some pretty complex problems when scaling out services like ours - especially since most other products don't support running multiple versions within one pod simultaneously which causes issues if you need different environments per customer type / user role.

Pros
  • Able to run multiples builds inside 1 docker image (with customizable nginx configurations) is really hard but possible using CRIO's architecture & tools + kubernetes' networking features together
Cons
  • There are disadvantages
