> Nobody said you can't operate with old-style VMs and ansible or puppet or whatever, but tbqh yes, you're going to move slower.

To stay in your metaphor, moving faster is not a guarantee to arrive at your target earlier. As long as everything works fine, using k8s is great. When you have to dig deep to solve a problem, a stack with less layers might be a huge advantage.

Sounds like you moved your complexity from machine virtualization to container orchestration. Doesn't sound like you won anything, least of all agility.

Is everything about to move fast? When you read a book, is it a race to get to the last page? When you sing a song, is the goal to get to the last word as soon as possible?

If you'd do it for an employer, the answer to all these questions is yes.
