I think most of the legacy companies that can benefit from Kubernetes don't use it, while most of the companies that are using it are startups doing it for the résumé.

This is the exact opposite of my experience. Maybe it was true 10 years ago when K8s was new and trendy so many engineers wanted to try it out. Now it's just boring tech at large orgs.

I'm proud to say I retired more k8s clusters than I created. And I've created 5 production ones, still in production.

One that I retired was used for serving ftp(among other transfer stuff), ftp of all things, it needs to have ports open and routed back from the client. And for extra points they had the pods capped at 1 cpu. And I had to explain the thing to the perpetrator and their boss, madness.

		> One that I retired was used for serving ftp It must have been a while ago - FTP was practically killed the moment browsers stopped supporting it.

It's also much easier to bring online these days with managed offerings like GKE, EKS, and AKS.

I have no love for the original bash scripts that booted the cluster from your dev machine.

Now we also have k3s that is a easy option for self hosting something simple (like homelab).
