Kubernetes, I think, exists in the 'hedgehog' at the middle of the diagram of various drives and fears.
There is some tech so simple that you just learn it and start using it, others that you know you can pick up when the time is right.
And software you would be happy to invest time in... as long as someone is paying you to do it, software you fear might keep you from getting a job if you don't invest in it.
There is software so simple it might be right (it isn't) and software so complicated that it must be important if people are using it/working on it.
So it's not that Kubernetes is good, it's just that it makes people neurotic enough to jump on the bandwagon. Been a few of those in my career. A few have stuck, most have not.
