Maybe so, but anyone should definitely use more criteria than my few word generalization to choose their deployment infrastructure. :)

We (mostly) chose k8s over other solutions because of other tools/providers in the ecosystem that made business sense for us. But we did need something to abstract our deployment complexity.

I’m mostly suggesting that I suspect many of the people with bad k8s experience didn’t really need it.

I’ve seen a number of people wrap a simple application in a container, slap it in a deployment/service/ingress and call it a day, it works, but using k8s that way doesn’t really add much value.
