Oh boy. I'm currently battling with Kubernetes, and I mean it.
Compared to k8s systemd is simple and easy.
I can wholeheartedly say I hate k8s and its guts.
Everything is so overly complicated.
A bazillion configurations for every single little detail.
And she's a touchy little princess.
Hard to find help, expensive courses and a not so great documentation site, that kind of explains the components, but then again really doesn't in detail, also no complete configuration reference.
And no matter which way to setup you choose, something is always wrong.
It's a tool to drive you to expensive public cloud offerings.
For the small price of only ~$2600 per month you can have your 5 node k8s cluster on GCP, cheap cheap.
Burn money money burn money money burn.
Managing and maintaining k8s is a full-time job.
In comparison systemd is well documented and you don't really need to ask people for help.
You can easily use the shell, you don't have to battle with wrong nginx configurations that were autogenerated, because you wrote them and you know what you're doing.
Fleet was cool, but Redhat bought CoreOS and killed fleet, can't have a simple effective system, it has to be complex and enterprise so you can sell services and tutelage.
Fucking IT people.
