I agree I consider kubernetes to be a simplification. I have two apps running at my company the first is a forest of php files and crontabs strewn about a handful of servers. There are weird name resolution rules, shared libs, etc. Despite my best efforts its defied organization and simplification for 2.5 years.

The second is a nice, clean EKS app. Developers build containers and I bind them with configuration drop'em like they're hot right where they belong. The builds are simple. The deployments are simple. Most importantly there are clear expectations for both operations/scaling and development. This makes both groups move quickly and with little need for coordination.
