I was a huge proponent of not hosting monolithic applications on kubernetes, that was until the company I worked for acquired another same size company and I had to learn their hand rolled puppet2/shell script based infrastructure management/deployment logic all over again(we had our own hand rolled puppet3/shell script based infrastructure logic too, so that's two stacks with their own quirks.) Now I'm completely in favor of hosting anything you can cram into kubernetes in kubernetes, even though kubernetes is more complex than most other infra tools, most of the time there is only one way to do things(configmaps for config, PV allocations for storage etc..) So if you understand kubernetes, it's easier to get the larger picture about the infrastructure even if you know nothing about the application stack.
