To me the question is more: Is there an extremely valid reason to _not_ use K8s. As a freelancer I visit quite a number of enterprise companies, think: Banks, Insurance, Airports, and they are all making the switch or are full-on invested in living in K8s by default. If it does not run in or was not made with K8s in mind: It will not be used/bought. Another thing I'm noticing with smaller companies: If you start fresh, you choose k8s. Which mens all other stuff is already slowly dying by virtue of not beeing chosen. Developers want/expect it, sysadmins see the benefits from day one, and companies see the potential gains of using less cloud resources and a platform that could potentially run in multiple clouds for the first time ever. K8s, openebs, prometheus/grafana, loki, kustomize, github actions. This is truly where "it's at" at the moment.
