We moved from one big box to Kubernetes. Now we have a load of kubernetes related problems to fix.

Learning pains? It is more complex, but the efforts will return value.

Email me if you'd like some help debugging and stabilizing

It seems Kubernetes is often the wrong tool for the job. The industry, and even Google is starting to recognize that, e.g. Kelsey with his "Monoliths are the future" [1] statement.

That said, boy do I like Kubernetes... It is extremely complex, though, and often its deployment seems not to be justified.

Have you heard of Anthos from Google? I think they are directing more resources towards k8s

Monolith / microservices is a separate conversation from orchestration. I have deployed both to Kubernetes for great benefit

It just seems like a whole lot of complexity that no one in our team understands especially well (it's another person in the team that does most of the kubernetes stuff).

So far I have seen little benefit.
