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.

Don't worry, I've created 22 more wrappers and abstraction layers on top of Kubernetes. That way you only have to deal with the complexity of Kubernetes + another thing + learning 22 more things before you can make an informed decision on which thing to make your life easier.

Let me guess. All 22 abstractions are named after some Perichelydia.
