A comment on Ask HN: If Kubernetes is the solution, why are there so many DevOps jobs?.
Our current platform is much more stable, has more features, and bigger than what the prev team did.
There are plenty of things you can't see like security or backup or scalability.
Backup were done app by app basis. Now you can do snapshots in k8s.
Security still is a mess. But now you can at least isolate stuff.
Scalability meant installing your application x times manually and configuring load balancer etc. Now you set it up per cluster.
Additional features you get with k8s: Auto scaling, high availability, health checks, self healing, standardization.
A lot of things got invented which lead to k8s like container or yaml.
Now with the operator pattern you can also replace admin and embed operational knowledge I to code.
Infrastructure was not ready to be controlled by code like this ever before.
