Yah.
I mean, k8s has 1000s of features. I am not using every one of them. I carved out the subset I need, and it is FANTASTIC. I get
* Great rolling deploys
* Self healing clusters
* Resource sharing / bin packing (rather than have 20 half used servers, I can have 6 much more heavily utilized servers)
I could maybe frankenstein these features on top of something else.. but frankly it seems absurd. If these are the only 3 features I use to run docker pods, k8s is a HUGE win to me.
