Here is my non complete list:

- Who’s at the Helm? [0]
- Microservices, hard as 1, 2, 3 - You can move it but complexity is still here [1]
- Microservices — architecture nihilism in minimalism's clothes [2]
- Do I Really Need Kubernetes? [3]
- Your team might not need Kubernetes [4]

I doubt that any of those articles could convince higher management. I don't know what a "respected source" actually means. I general I believe that advice from consulting agency and cloud providers should be taken with a grain of salt.

If you drew the same conclusion from the "Who’s at the Helm?" article than I, there is only one way out which is a curated container catalog. VMware's Tanzu Application Catalog [5] is the only product in that space I'm aware of. I have quoted the price tag on HN, I think it was removed since that, so I won't repeat it here again. In any way it was magnitudes higher than the EKS base price which already seen as a showstopper by many small shops. Bottom line is: it is really hard and really expensive to operate containers in a secure manner. Probably too hard and too expensive that it would be a good idea to start with it before you actually need it.

VMware Tanzu | Software Engineer Roles | Remote, Palo Alto, Austin, (Anywhere)

VMware Tanzu is tightly coupling Kubernetes and modern app development workflows in to the already widely used vSphere virtualization platform. There are multiple engineering roles, everything from k8s internals, to networking, storage, virtualization, and everything in between. Looking for good all around problem solvers, plus if you are already familiar with k8s and golang, but not a prerequisite.

For those curious about the Pivotal Labs product innovation process, check out this guide. In my opinion, it's the best end-to-end guide on how it all works together.

It's a product of 20+ years of iteration & weekly retrospectives - and was used to coach clients on how to collaborate as a team and build high quality products. Definitely download it, and review from time to time - many gold nuggets.
