The last company I worked for was essentially finance bros who had a no-code investment solution but wanted to sprinkle ML on top to get clients. Suddenly it needed to be able to run air-gapped on prem. Oh also on Ali cloud in china. Oh also on GCP and AWS hybrid. Business promised the clients it was ready before we even started building. 90% of the team was under 25. We tried our damned hardest. Used K8s to make the whole thing platform agnostic. It worked but it cost a lot. Business people are the worst.

Isn't a single binary the best fit in this case? Telling clients they need to build up a kubernetes cluster (especially in finance) won't always be the easiest decision.

Sounds like the exact use case for OpenShift.

use case: "I would like to use Kubernetes but I also would like a monkey to occasionally come out of a cage and hit my balls with a hammer"

Open shift : an unstable trailing-edge version of Kubernetes with too much security to the point of wasting everybody's time. Or so says my team which is still recovering from that unmitigated disaster ...
