Seems like there's an opportunity there. It doesn't need to be "all this deployment complexity". Just currently it is. In fact it shouldn't be; the kubernetes level of abstraction has far less going on than the VM level. My guess is that 2-3 years from now it will be easier to set up a kubernetes cluster than to set up even the single VM at the top of your piece, and a corresponding dev env will run seamlessly on Windows, Linux, OSX. The average user won't even know or care what OS they're running in production; it'll just work (think Heroku++) Of course once it becomes ubiquitous, then containers become the new (language agnostic!) way to deploy "libraries", accessed by HTTP, and DLL hell is just moved up an abstraction level. So what have we really achieved....
