are we really still doing this lol?

>> Kubernetes is feature-rich, yet these “enterprise” capabilities turned even simple tasks into protracted processes.

I don't agree. After learning the basics I would never go back. It doesn't turn simple tasks into a long process. It massively simplifies a ton functionality. And you really only need to learn 4 or 5 new concepts to get it off the ground.

If you have a simple website you don't need Kubernetes, but 99% of devs are working in medium sized shops where they have multiple teams working across multiple functionalities and Kubernetes helps this out.

Karpenter is not hard to set up at all. It solves the problem about over-provisioning out of the box and has for almost 5 years.

It's like writing an article: "I didn't need redis, and you probably don't either" and then talking about how Redis isn't good for relational data.

The "...You probably don't either" part is where the argument loses all of its weight. How do they know what I or anyone else needs?
