Kubernetes has been a masterwork ultra flexible but consistent underlay for building simple "just works" platforms. It would be trash if it tried to be the answer; it'd be a good fit for no one. That's an unbelievable anti-goal. But there are dozens of really good ci/CD & gitops systems that work very well with it that make all kinds of sense. Install k3s cluster in hour 1, setup gitops in hour #2. Tentative agreement in where we both land. You need to make intelligent choices. You need technical understanding & problem solving. Kube isn't really much better or worse, but it at least sets a shape & form where there are common patterns no matter what systems & platforms a particular company happens to be running on kube, no matter which concern you're dealing with.
