I recently ended up setting up "classic" server again after a significant time keeping mostly containerized infrastructure on k8s.

Never again, the amount of things that are simply harder in comparison is staggering.

Sorry to sound pedantic, but what was harder? Containerized infra or a classic server? I assume the former but wanted to be sure.

"Classic" approach turned out to be maddeningly harder.

Everything, even inside single "application", going slightly off the reservation. Services that would die in stupid ways. Painful configuration that would have been abstracted out were I running containers on k8s (some benefits might be realized with Docker compose, but docker on its own is much more brittle than k8s).

So much SSH-ing to a node to tweak things. apt-get fscking the server. Etc.

Oh, and logging being shitshow.

To me it sounds like the latter, a classic server, which I agree... After getting comfortable with containerized deployment, "classic" servers are a huge pain
