Citation? In my experience companies hire more sysadmins when adopting k8s. It's trivial to point at the job reqs for it.
> Company saves money by not having to pay for managed cloud products if they don't want to
Save money?! Again citation. What are you replacing in the cloud with k8s? In my experience most companies using k8s (as you already admitted) don't have a ton of ops experience and thus use more cloud resources.
> Treating cloud providers like cattle not pets
Again. Citation? Companies go multi-cloud not because they want to but because they have different teams (sometimes from acquisition) that have pre-existing products that are hard to move. No one is using k8s to get multi-cloud as a strategy.

Not it won't. It's actually on the downtrend now. Do you work for the CNCF? Can you put in a disclaimer if so?
> just deploying a single statically linked, optimized C++ server that can serve 10k requests per second from a toaster
completely un-necessary; most of the HN audience is not creating a c++ webserver from scratch; most of the HN audience can trivially serve way more than 10k reqs/sec from a single vm (node, rust, go, etc. are all easily capable of doing this from 1 vcpu)
