I call B.S.. He's conflating two things. One is a deployment infrastructure, another is an application pattern. I can deploy a monolith in k8s and I can deploy micro-services on a single server or a fleet of on-prem servers using any of the legacy dev-ops deployment automation tools. Sure k8s makes doing micro-services easier because it’s got a lot of the raw building blocks necessary to handle the CD process but in no way are the two concepts related. They’re tackling different problems. He's making the same mistake that he's criticizing others for by equating the two. What he is really describing is an organization doing a “big bang” refactor with poor planning and execution.
