The author admits it's extreme, but is clearly trying to normalize it:
> Someone defines Kubernetes as “a well-designed and extensible API with programmable reconciliation logic, that happens to come with a container orchestrator built in.” I like that definition.
How is it blatantly arguing for this thing when it literally calls it extreme and something that doesn’t exist? I think a more fair criticism would be the fact they don’t call out vendor lock-in as a tradeoff
> to throw Kubernetes into the mix just to run some controllers that deploy those services will pointlessly add to your monthly bill.
I think you have a valid point it may be dubious but the article does outline purported reasons it could make sense for some people. I dont think there is a “right way” and a “wrong way” here, rather there is the way “you would do it” and “the way they’re proposing as an option”
