There are lots of ways to avoid learning Kubernetes, but why? Kubernetes is so well designed and easy to learn and use!

This is the comment you see from people on EKS or GKE. Many companies have compelling reasons to keep a large part, or all, of their services in-house. Nobody who actually has to install and administer K8s is on here commenting about how easy it is to run, maintain, and upgrade on their bare metal hosts. Troubleshoot, I almost forgot troubleshoot! All of those moving pieces, and something is hosed at 3am. This will be fun.

It will be great if that changes someday, and there's certainly been progress, but for places where they'd need to run it themselves, K8s is a tough proposition.

I took the time to learn it, and for just my side projects it's a ridiculous amount of overkill.
