Using Monolithic programs in Kubernetes

6/16/2019

I wonder what your thoughts about using Kubernetes for monolithic programs. Is there any benefits of kubernetes for anything other then microservice infrastructure? I'm currently working on OpenStack kubernetes platform for deploying software, basically similar to Bitnami and several others. However, since many of the popular applications like Wordpress, Magento, Odoo etc are monolithic programs, they have problems with scaling, upgrading without downtime, etc.

I read about using NFS, but told that was a bad solution. And the solutions I have been told about so far, creates a lot of overhead on servers that would not make it beneficial to host at all. Anyone have any other experiences or thoughts on this subject? :)
