kubernetes is hard and overly complex
sure if you think about it in terms of creating a junk-drawer full of abstractions
this cluster took about ~1hr to build+smoke+go live
3 nodes
mix of edge and metal over wireguard and rayfish
dual ingress/egress gateways
gitops with flux via out of band git system
runs experiments all day long
has been kong'd with chaos experiments to look for failure points
and it costs 20$/year to run. (edge vps x2)
yes there's a learning curve, i wouldn't call it steep. maybe it's steep if you can't focus, then yes you're walking up a vertical glass wall.

@alice as a nontechnical person I never understood what kubernetes was actually used for. may I ask what you do "inside" it?
