let me try a riskier one: "people should not be reaching for kubernetes when a system administrator would suffice. sysadmins are cheap(er?) than clouds, use them"

it did not come out very well.... I got stuck trying to find what to contrast kube with; all I got in them minutes alloted to comment posting was 'system administrator'. meh.

I thought you still need a sysadmin or whoever is needed to set up and maintain kubernetes.

Nowadays K3s is worth the small learning curve with a big payoff as you get a lot of automation included / by installing an operator :-)

> … K3s…

I’m assuming this isn’t a typo and you mean Kubes?

I don't know what OP meant, but https://k3s.io/ also fits the context.

[rijx]

Yes, I meant this K3s as it's trivial to deploy and quite mature by now.

[jt2190]

Thanks for confirming.

K8s is an abbreviation of kubernetes K3s is an abbreviation of k8s

[eichin]

... wouldn't that be k1s?

[dunk010]

Everyone wants to use k8s and like 1% need it in any shape or form. It basically acts as a conspiracy between otherwise-redundant ops level people and those running Kubernettes against the companies who have to pay for all this. Just use Fargate, and be done.

This is just another lazy take.

There are many reasons why companies move to the cloud. Cost is not the only consideration.
