And the author says
>No critical conversations about Kubernetes are taking place, aside from outspoken critics on HackerNews or Slashdot, but those are few and far between.
The author's agenda is about highlighting that "Kubernetes is not a good solution for most if not all cloud deployments".
I'd say there's quite a decent chance that bias is involved. At least a chance bigger than Kubernetes not being a good solution for any cloud deployment.
I don't think anyone is arguing that Kubernetes is the best solution for all cloud deployments. From my POV it might not even be the best solution for most cloud deployments. But I think there's bias involved if one is even considering the possibility that Kubernetes is always a bad solution.
Regarding modifying the source material and cropping it to 4:3, that's something I find odd as well and I personally find is not fitting.
