That’s not a benefit to me. Is it reproducible? Keeping desired state under version control is valuable.

Yep. Super reproducible. Even more than the old ways. You can store the docker configs and store docker containers in registry. Store the yaml files, or auto generate them using build process based on other central DSL.

We could probably bootstrap our entire product from scratch in a couple of hours if it disappeared off the face of earth.

“Infrastucture as a config” is a very powerful concept. I’d say that’s what the big power of k8s is.

The state is defined in yaml manifests file which are trivial to store in Git and create templates with in Ansible.
