You don't just want to run a process. You probably want to run several, across several different machines, such that they'll scale automatically in response to load, restart if they become unhealthy, load balance, failover across hardware, and admit zero-downtime deployments. You may want to do all of this across several parallel clusters with different configurations (staging, production, production-europe, etc).

You also want to worry about all of the above as little as possible, which is why an abstraction like holos could be useful. I've been hoping to see an ergonomic application of CUE to k8s manifests for a while now.
