Sure. If ‘running a web server’ is the extent of your problem then kubernetes is a very wrong turn (in fact, so is ‘spinning up a Linux box’ - nobody needs to be writing an nginx config file to just put some static content on the internet).

I feel like this is just an argument between completely different communities. Like a recreational yachtsman saying ‘I don’t see why anyone should need a nuclear power plant to sail a boat’ to a naval attack submarine captain.



Yes, but the other way around: a naval attack submarine captain (Me) telling a recreational yachtsman (potential K8s users) not to put a nuclear power plant in their sailboat. I think some of us get that it should only be used sparingly as a big investment, but there's so many more using it just because it seems like they should.
