As a relative novice in the space, I'm grateful to hear someone say this out loud. K8s seems perfect to me for quickly scaling transient stuff like pipeline workers, web servers, but I've always been pretty leery of giving up the trivial snapshotting and rollbacks and other creature comforts of old-school virtualization when it comes to deploying long running applications, databases, and so on. And I've always felt kind of kind of guilty for not being on board to just mindlessly k8s-all-the-things.
