Something I'm struggling to understand about the hype of orchestrating a container architecture for everything you do is, if it's so incredibly nuanced, full of pitfalls, and k8 takes 80 hours of instruction/practice to full grasp how "easy" it makes life (despite there being layers on top of it like openshift that most orgs are gonna use anyway) and takes at least one "devops" person on a six figure salary to make sure it all doesnt crash and burn.. what was the point?

After a few weeks of diving into it, the point is that you can scale from tiny 1 pod, to huge enterprise Google-scale infrastructure.

But realistically, you don't need all that bullshit when you're a startup or even a large company making 7 figures.
