I do have only very minimal xp in k8s, as I have tried to use it only once (and never again). To me it seem like mOst of the comments are about the unusable and unmaintainable yaml configuration files. This seems like exactly the issue I had a few years ago, when I was cursing, because I could not find a spec or docs for the yaml stuff in all the pages and pages of seemingly important documentation and thus could not figure out how to transform a docker only deployment into k8s deployment. I also remember having to set up helm, according to whatever tutorial or official guide I was following. It was all a distant nightmare, that I do not wish to repeat.
