While I agree with you, the good part is that each generation is (slightly or significantly) better than the previous one. I remember using static generation in the 90s but the tools we have now are more powerful. Kubernetes is a great piece of software: it is well-designed, easy to work with (at least the managed versions that most companies use; administering the cluster is another thing), it applies a set of simple concepts in a consistent way that makes scaling a breeze. Soin the long run we benefit from the hype, although I can hardly understand folks running k8s for a 3-container setup.

K8s isn't so bad if you use a service like azure. I wouldn't run my own cluster. But k8s does make your life easier. It's basically supervisord on steroids with regards to features. Tho networking and storage is a nasty thing.
Each generation goes through the cycle faster.

Why can't you understand them? I understand them - It's cool, that's why they run it. It's not about rational use of resources, it's about being cool.
