They are as easy on k8s as they are on VMs. Or 'can': If you use a VM on AWS, you also need to know that you need to configure a vm snapshot (very easy, totally agreeing here with you). But you can also use a managed k8s from AWS

I'm describing my real life issues i have and had. Feel free to actually write more than 'None of this is true.' in a way that a discussion is actually possible. Tx :)

K8s doesn't solve problems which haven't been solved before. It doesn't do any particular magic in itself. The handful of things kubernetes does, are easy to explain but the impact is big nonetheless. It is trustworthy becaus

I only answered the question why it is different with kubernetes. I dont have anything against VMs. Feel free to click yourself a VM on any cloud provider, use it however you like. K8s abstracts VMs away and i have and had real issues with

Its not the same. You can easily run node pools automatically because your abstraction layer is k8s with containerd or docker. You also know that you can throw away VMs because they don't contain any state. You are not losing data just

I can tell you what it does for me: Full disk on your VM? Nope. Storage is abstracted away. Your server will not fill up anymore. Only one service might break which might heal itself. Is your VM/node broken? It will heal itself because

Its just a very bad and uneducated stand from some person. I'm running a small k8s instance at home, for a small startup and at my job in a big version. Abstraction of VMs is a real benefit: Have you ever had to restart a VM because of
