It's so frustrating to talk to Kubernetes enthusiasts.
enthusiast: if you'll migrate service X from a small sets of VMs to K8s cluster (which will take N man-moths because of reasons) it will auto-scale
Old grumpy man: but the the load is low and predictable we don't need autoscale and if load will grow we will just create two more VMs
enthusiast: auto-scaling will save time in the distant and unlikely future and CTO agrees that K8s is the best way to run software so you have to migrate anyway
