K8s has some cognitive overhead. For simple deploy a docker client-server with docker-compose is a winner, see misterio[1] which basically leverage docker-compose +ssh But when you need to guarantee system will auto-restart, and healthchecks and so on, K8s is the de-facto standard. Helm template language (based on Go) is not ideal, but it difficult to replace K8s nowadays with simpler systems. [1] https://github.com/daitangio/misterio https://github.com/daitangio/misterio
