> ________ solves real problems which have been hard for a long time.

Please replace with Ansible, Chef, Puppet, HP Vault, Solaris Zones, OpenMosix, Bewolf, Grid Computing, MTS, CORBA, JEE .....

An argument based on seeing hype come and go, sellig conferences, books, certifications, consulting, training, and naturally one selfs curriculum.

Speaking of which,

"Kubernetes Certified Application Developer (CKAD) with Tests"

So you are saying that Ansible, Chef and puppet are fads? That solve no real problems?

OpenMosix, Bewolf and Grid computing were mostly confined on research circles. I never saw them took off like K8s did.

So comparing K8s with OpenMosix is a bit unfair...

I am saying that apparently they are not good enough for the Kubernetes generation.

Eventually there will come the post-Kubernetes generation and the cycle does yet another turn.

'Not good enough'?

Do you now think progress is bad?

Ansible and co did and still do a great job.

kubernetes is not just a thing, its also a paradigma shift.

It sounds like something new is just bad because its new?

What paradigm shift and what novelty?

My first containers were called HP-UX Vaults in 1999.

The cycle continues its reboot.

It doesn't.

Its getting refined, standardized and widely used.

k8s for me is the shift to a declarative infrastructure. Easy to put in your source code repository.

Also as a goody you get industry leaders offering a certified k8s experience.

And all of it is opensource and free.

A fully platform independent orchestration platform.
