Do you guys think the whole kubernetes ecosystem is a huge bubble or u think its here to last? Recently I started to apply jobs and the pay a kubernetes centered startup offered me was just insane.
k8s is a the centre of a lot of transformational stories, where companies that couldn't do things like CI/CD have been helped making the leap, because it pretty much forces you to do IaC and makes it hard to screw up.
It's harder than clicking on the GUI, starting a VM, ssh'ing to a box and running a process, but is it harder than doing the same with terraform on AWS?
And "simple" is not the same as "easy". K8s is a classic example of complexity arising from simple system, as there are pretty much two major algorithm ideas in the whole thing (blackboard multi agent system and OODA loop controllers).
