Claiming Kubernetes is Multics , and that the UNIX equivalent is around the corner, is worthless claim without actual data or argument to back it up. To me, Kubernetes is the new UNIX, centered around a small number of core ideas: controller loops, Pods, level-triggered events, and a fully open, well-standardized, and declarative, and extensible RESTful API. Kubernetes has its complexities - just like UNIX, because it's trying to solve two big problems: shifting the fundamental unit of computation into an immutable / ephemeral unit (rather than mutable), i.e. the Pod, and having a single open API for controlling almost every aspect of IT using control systems theory as the philosophy. The various clouds and predecessor cloud orchestrators (Azure ARM, AWS Cloud Formation, etc) are (to me) the infinitely complicated beasts. This article didn't have an argument beyond "I don't understand it, and therefore I don't like it". He just linked to a few rants about the complexity of the CNCF ecosystem (which is like complaining that "IT is complicated" - it is a reflection of reality, not Kubernetes), and extended cranky rant / thought exercise by the MetalLB dude. The latter is the closest to an actual argument against Kubernetes, but there’s a LOT of things to disagree with in that post. THAT would be an interesting debate. The biggest issue with Kubernetes is the insularity of the culture to reject anything that doesn't think like Kubernetes (as defined by whoever might be running any given SIG). That is also its greatest strength. But if it doesn't compromise this vision in some respects, such as developer experience, it will be self-limiting.
