> isn't part of the pitch that it actually gets you out of having to run parts of your infrastructure? That's a big part of many k8s pitches I've seen but in my experience it hasn't been representative of reality (or at least for every part of infrastructure you no longer need to run there's a new part of k8s architecture/config to learn & manage). For me the selling points are: 1. For the time-cost of upfront complexity and setup, you get extremely easy and quick subsequent addition of infra/tooling & scaling thereof. 2. There are certain patterns of tooling that k8s enables (relatively easily), that would have been difficult/impossible with more traditional setups. I don't think it makes infra management overhead less, it just reorganises it so it's more upfront and then less later while scaling.
