The container orchestrator landscape

At work, where we run AWS, the Good Idea Fairies are all: "Hey, let's use Kubernetes", as though it were a magic wand.

Qualitatively, it seems that we're basically eating all of the networking and orchestration capability that the cloud provider handles. We're trading the "cloud" for the "puff".

Analogies are all like something that sucks, but I use this to curb the enthusiasm of those who think some Magic Wand Of Technical Debt Retirement exists. No, dudes: we're going to have to put in the hard work of un-jacking the architecture.

Paraphrasing Zawinski: `Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use Kubernetes." Now they have two problems.`
