> What's the actual savings if you now just have additional complexity (...) You don't. You get less complexity, actually. Even with Docker, a Docker stack in Docker swarm mode is that simpler and easier to maintain and to monitor and to update and roll back than an unexplainable and impossible to justify docker-compose up. With Kubernetes, it can be even easier than that. Just grab a distro like Ubuntu, instal microk8s and deploy a kustomize script right out of the bat. Are you really running away from complexity or just irrationally hating on a tool just because you're oblivious to what it provides for free?
