For larger companies, I think a huge benefit of Kubernetes is the shared language for defining and operating services, as well as the well-thought-out abstractions for how these services interact.

Costs are generally less of a concern, but having one way of running, operating, and writing services allowed our dev team to move faster, share knowledge, etc.

True, cost is not the biggest issue. Separation of teams with different velocity and needs on the other hand is.

One API as abstraction with shared processes eases the pain for the people relying on a platform.
