> Exactly, and you can't solve a problem by making it more complex.

Sure you can. A resource scheduler is more complex than not having one, but it solves the single-point-of-failure problem and the bin-packing CPU+memory problem.

A more complex infrastructure means you can have dumber apps.

And there are lots of areas where this is true: TCP is a complex protocol which makes it easier to build reliable communication, CPUs have complex caches which make simple code faster, RAID makes multiple disks behave like a single disk to improve reliability or performance, compression is very complex (esp for audio/video) but dramatically reduces the size...

The implementation of kubernetes may be flawed, but the idea of kubernetes makes a lot of sense. It solves real problems.
