Very fair, although with managed services which are increasingly available, you don't typically need to think about CSI or CNI.

CSI and CNI do about as much magic as `docker volume` and `docker network`.

People act like their web framework and SQL connection pooler and stuff are so simple, while Kubernetes is complex and totally inscrutable for mortals, and I don't get it. It has a couple of moving parts, but it is probably simpler overall than SystemD.

I was genuinely surprised that k8s turned out to actually be pretty straightforward and very sensible after years of never having anything to do with it and just hearing about it on the net. Turns out opinions are just like after all.

That being said, what people tend to build on top of that foundation is a somewhat different story.

I'm just sitting here wondering why we need 100 billion transistors to move a piece of tape left and right ;)
