My experience is that Kubernetes is too complex for the average functioning product. At our company, everyone is obsessed with it because it promises no cloud vendor lock ins! But at what cost? The complexity. Also the direction cloud vendors are going in my opinion, is more hardware-centric (eg. TPUs). How will you avoid the cloud lock in when only Azure offers the image tagging machine learning as a service? How will Kubernetes solve that? I believe a balance between a small bit of lock-in, but retain environment freedom (free programming languages like python, javascript...) is the sweet spot for cloud, eg. PaaS like appengine or azure app service or beanstalk.
