> Lot of kubernetes hate here, which is surprising It's easier when you think of it using cats. A person wants a cat. They want a big one to deal with their rodent problem. They've heard that tigers are really big cats and extremely efficient in dealing with unwanted biomass around them. Said person gets a tiger. They get an impromptu expedition to hell and barely make it back. Person hates cats, buys a poodle and advocates for mouse traps. |

Kubernetes was designed for large organizations with massive applications that are usually micro services. It allowed the applications to be load balanced and easily updated with no downtime. Also, these organizations paid top dollar to highly technical and competent employees.
Now, all organizations feel like they need kubernetes because it's the next logical step in the never ending IT progression. So, they force all their apps to be containerized and run on an multi-tenant cluster.
However, these apps worked just fine on a server, and now the devs have to refactor them and get them to work on kubernetes. All the System Admins and Engineers also need to learn kubernetes. But most of these people don't want to constantly learn and use kubernetes, so no one ever really knows how it all works.
This inevitably led to companies whose sole purpose is to help places get off of kubernetes because it is too hard to maintain. I've seen it play out at several organizations.
