> If Kubernetes does indeed provide the best solution to provide scalability and availability, one can argue that this would result in a decreased demand for dev ops engineers, as they "would just have to use Kubernetes". I'd say it would result in either: - the same scalability and availability with fewer DevOps engineers - better scalability and availability with a similar number or more DevOps engineers In my experience, it's almost always the second case that happens. For example, a service would be moved from a few (virtualized or physical) servers that can only be scaled manually, to a k8s cluster with either autoscaling or at least scaling by changing a configuration file.
