The real value is the Install / Life Cycle orchestration - vanilla K8S has really marked that firmly as "not their problem" - which is the correct thing for them to do.

What does life cycle orchestration mean?
- mugsie 6y ago
  Replacing nodes, helping repairing broken things, upgrading the control plane, upgrading etcd etc.

    All easily done using Helm and kubeadm.

      Some of that is easily done with Helm and kubeadm, but not all of it, and definitely doesn't scale as you grow the number and size of the clusters running.

Cluster API should hopefully obsolete that problem, sooner rather than later.
- mugsie 6y ago
  Hopefully, but Cluster API relies on something like Rancher (or AKS/EkS/GKE) to do the deployment underneath it - it still kind of outsources the life cycle.

You clearly haven't used or heard of kubeadm, which is a certified installer and lifecycle tool from CNCF.
