I think many forget that at the end of the day, you're still just administering systems and hopefully doing the least amount of manual work as practical. If you had two on prem servers, you'd be working to get the most out of them and trying to reduce downtime, while meeting the needs of the business. If you had K8s clusters running 1000s of containers across the planet, you'd still be working to get the most out of them and trying to reduce downtime, while meeting the needs of the business. I'm greatly simplifying of course, but slapping some buzzwords on didn't make it a brand new discipline.
