   Kubernetes seems so overkill for anything other than large-scale apps and services. Am I wrong about that?

     @daviwil to me it kind of depends. Mostly on the side that even for bigger applications, you only need kubernetes if you don't use BEAM languages and you have multiple services. Otherwise I don't think that it would be at all helpful!

     @daviwil Yes. I shared the the same conclusion until recently.

     Kubernetes comes in many flavors: kind, minikube, k0s, k3s, k8s, crossplane, ...

     Its components such etcd or containerd are simple. Complexity is added by the resources that can be described (see Helm Chart of the Grafana Stack) and the overall ecosystem (see CNF projects).

     What rrally made it work for me is the fact that Kubernetes (as a technology) enables interoperability between cloud service providers (KaaS).
