K8s changed the way I thought software should be built, because it presents the data centre as an API.

K8s is also not that complicated after you grok it. It's also pretty easy to get started for simple cases. It's just that you need to switch your mindset a bit; but the benefits from the mental switch are non-negligble.

Writing (or code-generating) a bunch of YAML configs is the easiest part about K8s. Diagnosing why in the world it misbehaves in some weird manner is where the real complexity is.

Of course, this does not apply when you're not a system administrator, but just an user of someone's else (Google) K8s.
