People talking about the maintenance pain of running Kubernetes have actual customers and are not running their whole infrastructure on 20€/mo.

Anecdotes like these are not helpful.

I have thousands of services I'm running on ~10^5 hosts and all kinds of compliance and contractual requirements to how I maintain my systems. Maintenance pain is a very real table-stakes conversation for people like us.

Your comment is like pure noise in our space.

That's an incredibly self-centred comment. People use Kubernetes for a whole range of reasons - not all of them will align with your own needs.

You're right: they're using managed Kubernetes instead - which covers 90% of the maintenance complexity.

We are, and it's not 90%. Maybe 75%.

But nowhere near the reductive bullshit comment of "there's no maintenance because my $20/mo stack says so".
