I agree with you entirely, nearly all of the companies I've encountered that are trying to get kubernetes working have:

1. Made poor language choices that require them to over complicate their architecture to scale things up. Places where a single golang binary would work and instead you have queues and callbacks and 5 container images because at each road block they just added some new "thing" to make it work.

2. do not even have the base infrastructure automated for any of this to run on, so instead they throw kubernetes on top of it and cross their fingers that the underlying hosts will just magically stay up. And every email about degraded hardware from AWS nearly gives you a heart attack.

I guess overall I'm sad that instead of trying to make smaller and tighter machine images that boot quickly in order to automate availability, we (the industry) added another layer (containers) to just complicate things more.
