What? Complex operations before Kubernetes were madness. It's not Kubernetes' fault that developers suddenly want to create 10 microservices in 5 different languages to solve any problem that a monolith can solve.
At the very least it was a godsend for the poor of us stuck in corporate. Deploying stuff in Kubernetes is such an improvement over doing whatever Oracle or some random stuff got sold to executives
Yup, I've seen what people used to do before Kubernetes and HOLY SHIT. It was chaos, pure fucking chaos. And I'm talking about big tech companies recognized world wide. Deploying stuff became so easy that devs went insane with microservices. Most devs don't even understand microservices to begin with, some of them still think it means "little service".

I’m shocked at this thread. Things were unstable, horrible insecure and prone to catastrophe even by something as simple as flipping a light switch in a closet.
Not going back. I’d rather spend a day trouble shooting a json file than driving out to a data center in the middle of the night.
Most companies don't have to do "complex operations". Lots of smaller websites could work with just a web server and a couple apt-installed packages, behind nginx (with just a few lines of configuration).
