> we'll extract the good parts out into something simpler It's already been done and couple solutions exist: docker swarm, nomad. Depending on your stack complexity level. The problem you've described arises when you try to use the wrong tool for the job, e.g. you're trying to use kubernetes for simple projects with small teams without dedicated OPS and SRE teams. When you have large and complex infrastructure (e.g. GitLab) with complex networking and balancing level where the kubertenes like tools bring the most value you actually win by making your ops team work like a uber drivers (a little bit exaggerated) making standard decisions in standard environment. You just check the licence (certificates) and your infrastructure just work. No need for customised solutions anymore.
