I was referring to your specific use-case. I can go to k8s’ website to check its features, no need to list them here. It seems you are trying to create your own SaaS/PaaS to manage your home infrastructure. However, I still don’t see k8s as proper tool for this, because the scale is not big enough for such. Remember, k8s was designed with the Borg philosophy. But maybe you have a special case, so by all means, go for k8s. I don’t think anyone is scared of complexity. However, not everyone has easy horizontal scalable web applications. And most of time one just wants environmental organization and isolation, which containers/VMs brings. In home clouds I would see vertical scaling as a critical feature for efficiency in the limited infrastructure that cannot be easily scaled up. And today, k8s vertical auto-scaler isn’t anything but a disguised horizontal auto-scaler. Proxmox isn’t competing against Kubernetes, because by design k8s doesn’t support containers that run anything other than a single application/process that is supposed to be easily killed. If anything, LXD is the tool now competing with Proxmox due to its recent support to Qemu virtual machines. Although I don’t see what super advanced use case you have, I agree it is okay to run k8s on top of your Proxmox cluster. And you should check LXE limitations.
