    Do you really think that k8s, which is free (unless you buy a support contract) is less easy to manage at that scale than, what - a bunch of VMs with Docker installed? PHP and a NAS? Is that REALLY the cost sink you think it is?

    Brother, what works in your homelab will NOT survive Netflix traffic levels.

    And streamers are raising prices to get rich. Not because “k8s hard” lol

      Hey, friend. No need to get mad. I’ve worked on these exact systems I’m describing for years, which is how I know these things. They suck. It’s not about k8s itself, you’re focused on the wrong part of what I’m saying.

      You want to just stream files to people cheaply and quickly, these companies don’t do that anymore, and that’s the choice these companies have made. They’d rather scale their engineering resources to the microservices that nickle and dime the shit out of everyone. That’s just the facts.
