I've been in contact with Kubernetes (either following development or actively managing clusters) since the 1.0 days and all I can think when I read a list like this is: wake me up in a year or two when consolidation is over because it's simply too much for a single person.

It's just a bad list. It includes hosted Kubernetes solutions, application unrelated to Kubernetes (which may run on top, think Postgres), deployment options, built-in metrics, and lots of other random things. It's as if someone googled Kubernetes and copy & pasted and first 20 pages without any understanding or theme. This looks like some PR person hired a a low-cost freelance writer to "write something about Kubernetes because it's hot and we need traffic, deliver it tomorrow" - It's like someone writing "50+ useful Python packages" and just listing 50 completely random packages.

I've been operating Kubernetes clusters for years now, and most of these are completely irrelevant to me, dead, or I've never heard of them. Don't equate bad lists with complexity.

Thanks for the insight. Do you happen to be able to recommend a better resource?

Would you consider sharing some of the tooling you have found useful for your context?
