If you want ”cloud style” ingress, you’ll probably use metalLB and bgp etc.
Here’s where it gets fun.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, it works - now at least. Never liked it until 1.12 tbh, which is when a bunch of things settled.
The article is about “maybe you don’t need...” and as an anecdote I helped build a really successful $$$ e-commerce business with a couple of hundred micro-services on an on-prem LXC/LXD “cloud” using nomad, vault & consul.
You can use these tools independently of each other or have them work together - unixy.
I have anecdotes from my last couple of years on k8s as well, and... it just ends up with a much more narrow scope.
