Ops is not a layer of abstraction over Kubernetes no more then Dev is layer of abstraction over Python. We both have different responsibilities and thinking that Ops is just missing one more library is why it goes so wrong.

Kubernetes is massive beast and I get it. It feels extremely overcomplicated for "Please for the love of all that holy, just run this container." However, trying to abstract away such complexity is like trying to use Golang with some Python to Golang cross compiler. It works until it you need some feature and then oh god, all hell breaks loose.

I have not played with scaffold either but I will say. scaffold render should not be Ops job, I find it goes best when Devs present artifact they believe is ready for production and I can slot into the system. Otherwise, the friction between Devs handing Ops what they think is possibly buildable artifact quickly becomes untenable.
