alt Hacker NewsI am not sure the argument "muhh k8s is too complex, I will roll docker instead" flies well in the age of cloud managed k8s offerings
EKS is literally one click of a button away and you dont need to handroll this.
even if you dont know AWS console nor terraform, claude code with aws mcp can do that for you

I worked at a place (a big name in a given vertical!), where the SRE looked at K8S and said "hold my beer".
Out came Docker, dnsmasq, miles of duct tape and a whole lot of swearing. Just to come nowhere close to reinventing something better folks were doing years prior.
Just because you can (or think you can) doesn't mean you should. I sure do hope no one is maintaining that NIH monstrosity now!
The problem I have with Kunernetes in general is that everything is slow and configuring everything seems needlessly complex in common use cases.
