How about "Kubernetes as a complexity generator"? :-)

[moshloop]

Kubernetes isn't the source of complexity - it is the problem domain of building and operating distributed systems that are fundamentally and essentially complex.

Compare the complexity of Kubernetes to Openstack - the next most similar project in the same problem space, and you will find Kubernetes is actually pretty simple.

OpenStack and Kubernetes serve different purposes. Despite the article, Kubernetes at its core really is a container orchestrator. OpenStack is a collection of software you'd use for running a mini-AWS on bare metal infrastructure.

[moshloop]

OpenStack and Kubernetes don't serve different purposes - they just solve them differently.

Both fundamentally are about abstracting the way in which infrastructure is managed.

[bauerd]

Well you can't run OpenStack on Kubernetes, but the other way round works. They target infrastructure at different levels of abstraction

I think you meant OpenShift. OpenStack works with full fledge VMs not containers.

[moshloop]

I meant OpenStack.

Kubernetes works with fully-fledged VM's as well - See Kubevirt
