It is a single point of failure. I want multiple smaller instances even if I’m running something trivial. It is not about scale but about reliability for us. And the moment I go with multiple instances I need something to manage that mess. Kube handles it well.

I've used DigitalOcean's load balancer + multiple instances that run app containers. It works fine and without Kubernetes.
I wasn't saying that just use 24 core single instance. Perhaps I should have worded it better.
Well a managed kubernetes cluster is not any more complex than the other solutions.
You can use GCP control panel to launch clusters, add nodes, launch containers expose and autoscale them without touching a single line of config file or a terminal if thats what you like. If you launch / manage your own cluster though.. It’s a pain.

How do you obtain the right docker images and launch them with the right settings?
How do you coordinate rolling deployments?
(I'm not saying you need Kubernetes to do these things. But if you've written something to handle them, it is very probably Kubernetes-shaped).
