Kube isn't for small businesses. It's for enterprises. Most developers aren't running the clusters, they are 99% of the time managed by the cloud provider. Why would I ever order VMs and manually run a kube cluster. But as an operator needing to manage clusters and multiple teams, I spend my time coding automation. I'm not saying kube is not simple, but it's a lot easier then managing application runtime on VMs. Before kube I was managing 260+ VMs (hyperv was internal managed DCs central/east) for my products in-house app. I had to essentially build my own poor man's orchestration platform to manage applications and deploying.
