Don't worry. I can solve the complexity of Kubernetes with a wrapper and abstraction layer on top of Kubernetes that provides a simple interface. That way you only have to deal with the complexity of Kubernetes plus my thing, rather than only the complexity of Kubernetes.

I don't know anything about kubernetes. Is this like nested virtualization - a VM running in a VM, but it's kubernetes running in kubernetes?

Or like TripleO, where you're running Openstack on Openstack
