This article lacked any useful insight into Kubernetes and the trade-offs involved in using it. My personal experience is this: Kubernetes itself is complex to operate. However, it's very easy to run applications on top of it. The question is whose life you want to make simpler: a small number of admins or a large number of developers? Attentive readers will note that this is the same design trade-off that public clouds make. (There's also the cap-ex vs. op-ex thing but Kubernetes enables you to manage that as well.)
