After reading TFA I don't feel enlightened. I don't think the author answered or even began to seriously address the question posed in the title; the discussion is approximately a beginner-level introduction to K8s Controllers.

A bit disappointed with cloudplane here.

Edit: @dollar - good one! Quite plausibly the case.

Kubernetes is so complicated, the author got started describing it, then gave up and wandered off topic.

Instead of your 2c you gave whole dollar here

The article did feel half finished. Maybe it could be a series of articles, I suppose.

But jumping right to "Let's look at how Kubernetes works behind the scenes, and why the complexity may be a tradeoff worth making." this would be more useful to me. Specifically, like "why all the pieces" and comparing them to other solutions, which may be challenging.

The piece was meant as a brief behind-the-scenes look for people hesitant to adopt K8s, sorry if the title is misleading. I'm not the best writer, but working to improve.
