> K8s is well suited to dynamically scaling a SaaS product delivered over the web

It’s well suited to other things as well, people are just in denial about some of them.

“I need to run more than two containers and have a googleable way to manage their behavior” is a very common need.

This is a need it fails at miserably. k8s reminds me of the raid recentralization anti pattern problem where you fix a hardware failure that never occurs in exchange for knowing simple higher level mistakes or security problems will tank something now too large to fail again.
