It is a full time job. The cost of using something is not just the setup cost. The same way that software development is not just the cost of writing the software.

- thaneross 4y agoIndeed. Hosted k8s has been low maintenance in my experience, much lower than managing a bunch of VMs. I think the common thread between people who have horror stories using k8s is either pains from self-hosting or teams who adopted it without experience and used the ample rope it gives to hang themselves.
