There's a common conversation that goes on around AI: some people swear its a complete waste of time and total boondoggle, some that its a good tool when used correctly, and others that its the future and nothing else matters.

I see the same thing happen with Kubernetes. I've run clusters from various sizes for about half a decade now. I've never once had an incident that wasn't caused by the product itself. I recall one particular incident where we had a complete blackout for about an hour. The people predisposed to hating Kubernetes did everything they could to blame it all on that "shitty k8s system." Turns out the service in question simply DOS'd by opening up tens of thousands of ports in a matter of seconds when a particular scenario occurred.

I'm neither in the k8s is the future nor k8s is total trash. It's a good system for when you genuinely need it. I've never understand the other two sides of the equation.
