Kubernetes 1.0 Is Just Six Years Old, and IBM Is Looking to Hire Someone With 12 Years of Experience

A recent job posting by IBM India has sparked heated discussions among netizens because the architect job posting explicitly requires candidates to have more than 12 years of Kubernetes management experience. As of press time, there has been no explanation or modification.

At the end of last month, IBM's recruitment page posted a job posting for a cloud-native architecture engineer, sparking heated discussions among netizens.

One of the most controversial items in this recruitment notice is:

Candidates are required to have more than 12 years of Kubernetes management experience

This requirement was criticized by netizens, who thought that the Kubernetes project was only 6 years old, so how could there be more than 12 years of management experience?

Recruiting for IBM India, wording not yet modified

The position is for recruitment for IBM's two branches in India. The position is Cloud Native Infrastructure Engineer and was launched on June 27.

From the job description:

At least 12 years of Kubernetes management experience;

Hands-on experience in building Kubernetes platforms, deploying microservices and other network applications, managing security secrets, and using Kubernetes for container orchestration;

Have a certain understanding of the communication between different node containers;

Able to deploy K8S in advanced network mode, and have experience in planning, managing, and maintaining Kubernetes clusters;

Solid understanding of logging, monitoring, optimization, and troubleshooting of Kubernetes clusters;

Strong knowledge of cloud technologies and microservices;

Six years of Kubernetes

The reason why it is hotly discussed by netizens is that Kubernetes was launched by Google in 2014. It was created by Joe Beda, Brendan Burns and Craig McLuckie. Kubernetes v1.0 was officially released on July 21, 2015.

It was soon contributed to the Linux Foundation as part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

In other words, as of today, Kubernetes has only been released for six years, so where does the 12 years of experience come from?

One netizen joked:There's nothing wrong with that. If you work 996 all the time, that means you'll have five years of work experience and seven years of overtime, for a total of twelve years of experience.

But some netizens pointed out:The Kubernetes experience here may also refer to Brok, an early container technology that was incubated within Google and put into production.It is the foundation laid by Brog that gave rise to Kubernetes.

Maybe IBM wants to recruit engineers from Google who have experience with Brog?
