Precisely! It's tiresome how many people setup Kubernetes for a network of 2-6 computers.

I was with you once, but last year's I got tired when people set up networks of 2-6 computers with daemons that run in a wildly different ways, and it's not clear how to fix their failures, where configs and metrics and logs are. I'd honestly prefer overengineered kubernetes setup nkw, only for some more standard way of doing things between projects.

[majewsky]

That's a false dichotomy though. Having a standard way of doing things between projects does not require running a complex distributed system with dozens of pieces all engaged in constant chatter. It's a testament to the failings of our profession that we apparently cannot agree on a sane baseline toolset less complicated than Kubernetes.

Infrastructure as code is much easier to handle than full backups of the configuration of your mutable machines, even for 1 machine.

The only problem it has (and why I don't use stuff like kubernetes at home) is that the configuration formats aren't stable and thus require a lot of ongoing maintenance.
