I think you’ve hit upon what seems evident in this discussion to me, but that doesn’t seem to be highlighted well. Even the most ardent Kubernetes advocates here are noting it’s not a panacea. It’s simply solving a need that exists at an immense scale.
Underlying all of that, though, is a need to understand what you’re deploying no matter what it is. Click to deploy is very tempting, but should only be undertaken when you have an understanding of what you’re clicking and the how and why of the deployment process, the technology stack that makes it possible, etc.
