    Click bait title. The point of this article is that Kubernetes is indeed an orchestrator, but "so much more". However, it's mostly a bunch of random conversational pieces, like mentioning the slack channel has 90k users

    How about "Kubernetes as a complexity generator"? :-)

    My question is then what counts as a container orchestrator. Not to shit on the article but why over-complicate the definition of an already over-engineered system

    Is there even a viable alternative to Kubernetes at this point? For that matter, is there an alternative to YAML for defining Kubernetes setups?
