I totally agree. Deploying microservices and running k8s sound easy until you actually do it. For example, just see this section of k8s docs about exposing services: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/serv... . You need to understand many different concepts first to get this right. However, I think once you cross that hurdle, the traditionally harder stuff like auto scaling, rolling upgrade becomes relatively easier.

However, I would say that it's really early days for K8S and the ecosystem around it. As long as K8S does not try to solve every problem in the world and focus on the problems it's designed to solve, things will get easier and then may be a 60-min video can do some justice. ;-)
