HN has had a hate boner for K8s for as long as I can remember.

In my experience, K8s is a million times better than legacy shit it is usually replacing. The Herokus, the Ansible soup, the Chef/Puppet soup before that etc. The legacy infra that was held together by glue and sweat that everybody was afraid to touch.

As SRE, totally agree. Most companies I've been at where we implement K8S, which is around 30-50 VMs, ends up building their own, shittier Kubernetes. This blog post: https://www.macchaffee.com/blog/2024/you-have-built-a-kubern... is a favorite of mine.

"But it's my legacy shit and I understand it and I haven't taken the time to learn something new because that's scary so I'll just piss on anything attempting to replace it."

Human nature, really.
