If you want to run a complex service consisting of multiple microservices, auto scaling and so on, nothing beats Kubernetes. But you're right, most small businesses just need a simple web site, and for them, an Amazon Lightsail VM might suffice.

yeah, nothing beats K8s except you know... maybe serverless. or maybe cloud primitives that are already there and are handled by someone else.

IMHO, unless you have a huge fleet of bare metal machines K8s is an overhead you don't need

i run k8s on my home network, its nice to not have to log into my linsux box to see logs and restart things.

I like having the ability to just nuke my thing at home and it comes up the same way it did before,... Not sure why it too me so long to adopt work mentality at home but its great. Plex acting funny? kill the pod. Sonar needs an update? Kill the pod.

Thanks for your HO but you're wrong. K8s is the future and the new JVM.
