Kubernetes is not too complex. There are things to learn no doubt, but it's easy to reason about once you cross the initial learning curve. Ofcourse transitions can fail. People can think yea let's do this small thing and end up chewing off a much bigger problem than they thought they were getting into. But that problem is in the whole of tech. "Let's just use our present people and switch from all proprietary to all open source in 3 months.." yea, best of luck with that... You need a solid team and going all in on K8s is hard, you need technical talent and leadership to drive this. Agreed, maybe it may not be for everyone. Benefits are both technical and financial, less compute resources used, more reliable deploys, more resilient services. The problems being solved by this are not trivial. There are tangible benefits. Is it a risk? Ofcourse it is. The risk is not in the technology, the risk is in the competence of the team deploying it. If it can't change and adapt, maybe a lot more fundamental things need to change in that organization than just deploying a new orchestration layer. My only point is, this shift from dedicated servers to VMs and now to containers is a fundamental shift in how things are done. People can hate on it all they like, but it's a better way of doing things and everyone will catch-up eventually.
