I think what I've heard is the kubernetes end result is very often a massively overcomplicated infrastructure that nobody understands, that's a constant source of headaches and lost time due to leaky abstractions.

Disclaimer: I've never actually used it myself. That's mostly just what I've read and heard from people who use kubernetes.

Basically depends on expertise. The parent commenter probably comes from a team of good well paid ops engineers who understand and set up k8s well. In any other org it’s the show you describe.

It's like what Hedberg said about rice: k8s is great if you're really hungry and what to host two thousand of something.
