I don't really use k8s nor etcd, but one sentence in the article really stood out to me: > I would go so far as to say that Kubernetes is the worst thing to happen to system administration since systemd. I know it's popular to shit on systemd, but as a casual user, I honestly don't get it. I've written about a dozen systemd unit files over the years, and each time it's been a pleasure. Write a few lines describing what to launch when, one command to make systemd aware of your new file, one command to launch it. In contrast, I've written a couple sysvinit files, and the experience was horrible every time. Having to manage pid files and logging myself, setting up the proper symlinks, etc. It'd always end up being a ~100 line script that'd be 99% copy-paste. There might be some use-case where systemd is worse, but for my (admittedly simple) use-case, it's far superior.
