Kubernetes is itself an application (or set of applications), and these applications have to run somewhere. While Kubernetes does enable operational scalability and management for containers, it doesn’t directly help you manage the infrastructure that Kubernetes itself depends on. Of course, this “ease of management” has a learning curve, but it’s well worth it to get the benefits of modern container-based software development, on infrastructure that delivers scalability and infrastructure portability. This results in an easier to manage a system that is powerful and extensible. Kubernetes is an infrastructure-neutral system, and by using declarative statements describing the state your systems and application should be in, it drives managed elements to the desired state. So you are on board with Kubernetes (or thinking about exploring some Kubernetes deployments.) There are lots of good reasons for this, which you are probably well aware of - Kubernetes takes care of the container management, scheduling workloads onto a cluster, dealing with scaling and redundancy, automating rollouts and rollbacks.
