Manager: "Can we get an accurate report on how many containers we have on the Kubernetes cluster?"

Me: "Well not really since Kubernetes is designed to be dynamic and agile with the number of resources and containers being created and deleted being subject to change at a moment's notice."

Manager: "I want numbers"

Me: "Okay well if we look at a simple moving average over time, we can see how the number of containers changes and then grab a rough answer from that"

Manager: "These numbers look a little round, are you sure these are exact?"

I'm going to throw myself into a pile of used heroin needles and hope i get stuck with whatever the hell this guy has to somehow be a manager while also being this retarded.

    Maybe try a "it varies from X to Y, averaging at Z", and add quantiles for more flare?

    Instore a new, dynamic system where an automatic need turret shoots him with green darts when new instances are spun up and red ones when one shuts down.

    Maybe create a script to send him emails with the exact number every few minutes?

    hmmm but why does he want to know?
    Is he aiming to some ill-designed attempt to save money, or he want just to measure his dick at the golf club: "Yeah, well, you know, I have more than n-hundreds kubernetes containers down there"

    If it's the latter, it could just make up any number

    Pipe it to a chart at then make the chart update every few seconds. Put CCS transition on your curves/bars whatever.

    Let them SEE IT MOVE.

    I would just gave him the current number.
    If he want's to know on the fly - make a e-mail cron for for him.

    But since this is devRant: what a total bastard! How can he even breath? A restriction on a keyboard for a guy like that!

    @HiFiWiFiSciFi and then silently switch the feed from "live number of instances" to "(integer) value of bitcoin with a delay of X months such they the switch is seamless", don't forget to take pictures of the paramedics coming to get him after his heart attack...

    I'd ask why...

    My paranoia tells me he's gonna use them in an inappropriate way.

    As I'm a cockroach in paranoia mode, I'd make an appointment and discuss it.

    Most likely he just needs his head tilted in the right direction with a frying pan... Eh got it explained slowly so he has the brilliant realization by his own that our systems are super smart at readjusting themselves depending on pressure.
