And you don't think k8s made your life much easier?

For me it's now much more about proper platform engineering and giving teams more flexibility again knowing that the k8s platform is significantly more stable than what I have ever seen before.

No, I don't for that setup. Trying to deploy K8S across what was a hybrid deployment across four countries and on prem, colo, managed services, and VMs would've been far.more effort than our custom system was (and the hw complexity was dictated by cost - running on AWS would've bankrupted that company)
