This thread is endemic of our industry imo. You should not be “going it alone” unless it is core to your business model. Even if you’re a trucking company, that doesn’t mean you should go build your own trucks.!?!? Only in SW do we think this is “OK".https://twitter.com/copyconstruct/status/1020880388464377856 …

Choosing the right solution/vendor to buy into is a hard problem tho. And it's often a hard sell in an agile culture to do months of upfront research and planning before showing progress.

Training alone is worth its weight in gold. You wouldn't scale a mountain without training, why do folks think this is rational in clustering.

I usually see training purchased after a PoC has been done and a decision has been made. Do people do it for initial research? How do you convince management to pay for it when it may not be applicable?

If you have purchased training after PoC... you're doing it wrong. WRT how, that's tradecraft

Are there any 3rd parties offering “overview training” of competing solutions? The vendor trainings are necessarily biased, ofc. So you’d have to take multiple to judge fairly.

I get your argument, but I haven't really seen fundamental training inherently biased, b/c they go through concepts vs. differentiations.

Well, for example, RedHat trains on OpenShift, and Mesosphere trains on K8s-on-DC/OS, and Google trains on GKE. All of them could sell you on K8s in general, but none of them are gonna give you a fair and balanced overview/training of KaaS solutions.

Its silly to me that every vendor has their own overlapping basics training which I think relates to the closed way @linuxfoundation builds training. Training for core technologies should be managed exactly like open source code, I cant fathom why they do it so differently
