And then tear your hair out when something doesn't work for some reason and root causing it requires learning a stupid number of layers. k8s is easy until it goes wrong.

Isn't this the same for every software? How is debugging issues with Linux, NGINX, any complex framework any easier?

Well, for one thing, all logs are in /var/log.

If it doesn’t fail just right in kubernetes there might be no logs at all.

I’m thinking on particular about trying to mount filesystems into pods.

Debugging k8s issues is like debugging a vast distributed monolith with a vague guesses on where the problem occurred.
