It is what I am doing for my team. And yes, if I leave, it would leave the team in a bad state. I have been incrementally cross-training two of the other engineers on this. We’re not managing our own K8S cluster. I did that once by hand at another place (before kubeadm), enough to know that managed GKE on GCP is a great thing. Also did my own single-node K8S for dev work. Nanokube and later, minikube later mare that much easier. I used to do stuff with Capistrano and Chef. Enough to know that once you know the core primitives, it is easier just to use K8S.
