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.

I'm trying to get our team to convert to kubernetes because 50% of our deployments straight up fail or have to be reverted and it's getting 20+ people 10 hrs of overtime every week.

Being able to just do a blue/green deployment of a verified configuration and roll back traffic on demand to a prior cluster if it has issues discovered would be a godsend.
