Kubernetes is a very flexible way to host microservices today, which also means it takes a lot of effort to manage and keep running in a workflow.
And while we needed something like Kubernetes this past decade to grow microservice architecture en mass, many of things that Kubernetes does right now will be abstracted away over time in a way that maintains much of that same flexibility.
In that respect, yes, Kubernetes is important for the future of data platforms - but as a stepping stone (an angle that was absent in the author's post).
