‘AWS vs. K8s’ Is the New ‘Windows vs. Linux’ (zwischenzugs.com)

The title doesn't cover the nuance so please go ahead and RTFM. The argument is that Kubernetes is like Linux was some time ago - for geeks and hackers who spent the extra time and dealt with the annoyances and bugs because Linux offered something to them that Windows did not: "Some liked to tinker, some wanted an OS to be ‘free’, some wanted more control over their software, some wanted a faster system, but all had some niche reason to justify the effort."

The argument then goes that K8S is a bit Linux was back then - harder to use but ultimately more rewarding, more open in the long run and you avoid lock-in. The other side of this is that userland ecosystem for K8S is a bit of a mess - not sure how to solve that, currently, without reinventing OpenShift.
