How we migrated onto K8s in less than 12 months 2 years ago
Managing 500 or more VMS is a lot of work.
Aline the VM upgrade, auth, backup, log rotation etc.
With k8s I can give everyone a namespace, policies, volumes, have automatic log aggregation due to demon sets and k8s/cloud native stacks.
Self healing and more.
It's hard to describe how much better it is.
