It’s not overly complicated, it’s just trying to serve everyone’s use cases. I’ve tried deploying to 10k servers with custom scripts in Jenkins, bamboo and AWS auto scaling groups but I’ve found kubernetes is the only tool that will elegantly handle a problem. You can probably write a script for the happy path but for a production service I’d bet my money on something that can handle all of the problems that come along with the statistics blow ups at scale. That said, I can be complete overkill for most systems.
