Well I wish he expanded a bit more on the “Just do X, that’s so much simpler” section.

He's on AWS, he could have gotten all those benefits with ElasticBeanstalk or ECS even. Plus no yaml files but actual IaaS (terraform etc.) and much better integrations with the other AWS services.

I'd personally still use EC2 for a blog, but if you're looking for convenience/battery-included type of thing...yes I'd argue you're better off just doing X instead.

Yeah... It's like software hipsterism, whatever is weird/hard is "cool," but the moment it become mainstream suddenly a new technology/language needs to made instead. 2 years from now everybody and their grandma will understand kubernetes or have a simple gui for it, and the hipsters will move on to something new and exclusive.
