The challenge with Kubernetes is the number of layers that are being created. Whilst each individual layer can be understood, it takes time. Additionally, these layers are prone to rapid change. To take one example Cilium and other players in the container world are looking to replace iptables with eBPF. So learning iptables becomes obsolete. For me, Kubernetes is cool and if you have enough scale to need it, very useful. The problem is (like most IT hype cycles) it's getting used in inappropriate places, where simpler more basic solutions could work just fine.
