Yes. I know. K8s has delivered the moral equivalent of what we've had built-in to our OS kernels[1] since before some of the people reading this were born, and they've only had to add two layers of complexity, fragility and inscrutability on top of k8s itself, one of which is a third party dependency.

This is my excited face. :|

No k8s has not delivered that. It's built an orchestration layer on top of iSCSI, NVMeOF or whatever "remote disk" tech the kernel has implemented and abstracted that from devs which was the whole point of k8s.

That may be the point, but the actual impact is "devs" became "devops" and now spend some multiple of their time actually developing software puzzling over operations abstractions.
