> vested interests from large companies are able to introduce huge complexity into simple, well-designed projects. In this case, the vested interest are interested in making it as easy as possible for real world customers to reliably deploy their applications to the Cloud. That's not an interest that favors unneeded complexity. The complexity comes from the need for a container orchestration system that satisfies the needs of large organizations. If you could satisfy those needs more simply, the incentives are to simplify. Undoubtedly there is space to build a simpler tool with a subset of Kubernetes' features. And sure, you can pick at specific flaws in the way it's evolved. But I'm not so convinced by the claim that the whole thing is a mess because tech employees like replicating the stack they are used to.
