If somebody else on the team already knows k8s. The problem is a lot of places just give devs admin access and let them go hog wild. If devs don't know k8s they can't make significant changes without waiting for the one guy who knows k8s to do it.
Give a man a k8s, he will deploy for a day. Teach a man to k8s, he will deploy for at least 5 years while the hype cycle continues.
1. Are motivated by the sort of curiosity that would frustrate them if they were blocked from knowing about k8s
2. Are motivated by the sense of responsibility that would unnerve them if they didn't understand 1 abstraction layer beneath their work.
