Exactly. Kubernetes has established patterns. Once you understand them then everything gets EASY. How toñset everything up, how to deploy, networking, service communication, secrets, etc

I've had teams create brand new services in hours that used to take a week. They can create, deploy, debug and manage their own service without any help from me. Their service runs and looks exactly vthe same as every other service. When things go wrong, they know where to look.

My team is smaller than it was last year while running 3x as much. That is all from a good combination of CI jobs, terraform and kubernetes. Also, our cloud bill is WAY down from last year because of the fewer number of VMs we need to run.

Is kubernetes a fad when the CTO is happy because costs are down, while productivity and stability are up?
