i think the idea is that k8s does away with having to glue all those pieces of infra together, not that you lose understanding of how it all works together. part of the headache with managing infra is that it rots over time... things come and go (sysv to systemd, apt/snap/whatever, config files change, things break). it's easier to keep up to date on k8s than all the disparate parts of the OS and provider-specific APIs and whatnot

That's an interesting perspective I have not heard before. Does this imply there is a cloud abstract layer that should come (assuming all providers can put aside commercial interests etc) And is k8s the simplest possible abstraction? And if not - what is?

If you are asking about the simplest possible abstraction for container scheduling and orchestration, then I believe Nomad from HashiCorp or Docker Swarm are simpler. As for managed solutions with wide adoption in all types of environments and the largest investment to date, I am not aware of anything on par with K8S.
