There certainly is a different group who pushes Kubernetes as the savior of DevOps. I’ve seen this put plenty of pressure on teams to adopt it and they’ve gone in too fast, resulting in downtime, security issues, and huge operational costs. These are real costs and can have an affect on someone’s home life and career prospects within their company. I’ve had to go in and save quite a few of these people, and they were pretty miserable.

We shouldn’t shill any technology, and anytime we do talk about it’s virtues we should discuss its shortcomings and why people should be hesitant to use it.
