I think this comment and replies capture the problem with Kubernetes. Nobody gets fired for choosing Kubernetes now.

It's obvious to you, me and the other 2 presumably techie people who've responded within 15 mins that you shouldn't have been using Kubernetes. But you probably work in a company of full of techie people, who ended up using Kubernetes.

We have HN, an environment full of techie people here who immediately recognise not to use k8s in 99% of cases, yet in actually paid professional environments, in 99% of cases, the same techie people will tolerate, support and converge on the idea they should use k8s.

I feel like there's an element of the emperors new clothes here.

You hit the nail on the head here. Saying and doing are two very different things. It's also especially tempting to find an excuse to use some shiny new thing that everyone is always talking about. Both for personal learning and curiosity but also for future job prospects. The reality is that it's easier to get a k8s job if you have k8s experience.
