Is it really that hard to install netdata? It's a single command.

It is really no different than managing VPS's, in all honesty (just less expensive and tangible). I spend less than one hour a week doing updates and routine maintenance. Drive failures happen rarely, and can usually be swapped out within a few hours (this is what RAID is for).

More time is spent dealing with k8s and it's shenanigans than dealing with the actual servers.

Many people don't do that. My company uses EKS and we just send dockerfiles and yaml files at it. We don't ever actually interface with an ssh prompt on our servers

Managing Kubernetes doesn't take time?
