What a low effort and low value post. Where exactly in my list of alternative solutions did you find bash?

  There’s like 10 different things in your post, how exactly you suggest we automate all that stuff? Usually that ends up being bash possibly with some hcl/cf/ansible mixed in (not a whole lot better). If you suggest to write python or go to do it that’s imo even worse as you then end up with bespoke version of <50% of nomad/k8s that only you understand.

    Why would it be "bash possibly with some hcl/cf/ansible mixed in"? There's provisioning to be done using terraform or pxe installer, packages to be installed, config files to be copied, unit files to be edited, services to be started. That's 100% configuration management, no need for bash, python or go. Although you will get with any solution at a point where text configuration is too large and you get into templating and then coding, and you will get there with K8s as well - see pulumi, dhall, etc There's people who can handle complexity with an elegant solutions and people who can't and search for silver bullets like K8s.
