Comment Comment by YZF There are other out of the box features that are useful:* Cert manager.* External-dns.* Monitoring stack (e.g. Grafana/Prometheus.)* Overlay network.* Integration with deployment tooling like ArgoCD or Spinnaker.* Relatively easy to deploy anything that comes with a helm chart (your database or search engine or whatnot).* Persistent volume/storage management.* High availability.It's also about using containers which mean there's a lot less to manage in hosts.I'm a fan of k8s. There's a learning curve but there's a huge ecosystem and I also find the docs to be good.But if you don't need any of it - don't use it! It is targeting a certain scale and beyond. parent YZF 2 years ago
