The article offers toward the end that now self-hosted customers can run their app on something other than k8s. I think this is a mistake. We're a k8s enterprise shop, and I don't want to support any more VMs. If it's not on k8s, I'm not running it. I don't want to be responsible for golden images, patching, and all the fun that comes with managing workloads outside of k8s. That's why I have k8s. All the problems in the article also seem self-imposed. k8s can run stateful workloads just fine. Don't start and stop them. Figure out the math on how much it costs to run a container 24/7, add your margin, and pass that cost to the customer. Customer can decide to stop the containers to save $$, so the latency won't hurt, they'll accept it because they know they're saving money.
