I can relate to that. As we run > 500 instances on AWS and GCP combined, we gave K8S a try, to see if we can get a shorter+simpler+cheaper way for our production. K8S on GKE (Google Container Engine) turned out not to be a good fit for our needs at the moment. Instead, we found ways to get more efficient with platfrom's provided provisioning API to gain all what we wanted with K8S in a far mature env.
