Even if you just look at the current layers offered by Kubernetes there are a lot of rough edges and footguns. It’s so fantastic and yet so terrible at the same time. Put simply, someone need to make a simpler, yet equally powerful, kubernetes. That’s only considering basic usage of deploying stuff on top of an existing cluster. Hosting your own cluster is even worse and one of the reasons cloud offerings are still so popular. If anything can kill cloud it will be a one click get kubernetes in your onprem rack, no config required. Just pass in the credentials and boom, all the nodes in the network just magically join and everything works, including all the often cloud-coupled stuff like ingress controllers. Operationally it need to be as easy as, or easier than, self hosted linux+ansible and deployments need to be more powerful than docker-compose.
