Maybe Google could have built something better than Kubernetes, but my point was that this doesn't do me any good. I can't _use_ the hypothetical better-than-Kubernetes product because it's hypothetical. So in the world of things that actually exist, Kubernetes is best in class despite the many valid criticisms of it.

Yes, my comment was my opinion.

Maybe Nomad is better. I haven't used it. I'm skeptical that it has the ecosystem breadth that Kubernetes has, but I'm happy to be wrong.

That's not really a useful comparison because (1) a system typically involves a lot more than just a singular database and (2) running a system involves a lot more than getting the software onto the machine. If you want to make a meaningful comparison, you need something like Ansible or Cloud Init to invoke apt and to wire everything together and at that point Kubernetes is _likely_ already easier. Especially when you consider logs, metrics, certificates, DNS, etc.
