The hater’s guide to Kubernetes

No yaml, no helm, no operators? Using Pulumi as a layer of abstraction but not using ingress because its a layer of abstraction?

I don't know the equivalent in GCP, but in AWS this would be treating EKS like ECS. Missing out on 90% of the benefits of kubernetes by ignoring that 90%.

But also, small company. Kubernetes is a better base to start from and expand from there.
