I've been in this business since the early 2000s when we did not have these toys and had to roll everything on our own. I myself had to set up a high availability cluster using, eh, I forget what it was called now, something like LVH, and "containers" using Linux jails. K8S is absolutely not a sustainable thing with its learning curve, and it is destined to be abstracted by a "dumb" layer, sort of like Git has two APIs - for developers and for the users. In fact, I believe that is already happening. Few companies can afford a team of devs doing care and feeding for this thing full time.
