Luckily I’m at point of my career where I have nothing left to prove and my success metrics that I take to any company is that I can show I am “smart and gets things done”.

I spent years railing against “Kubernetes everywhere”. But now it’s my go to for anything that’s even slightly complicated with multiple services. But still keep my databases, cache clusters, etc off of it.

It’s a known standard, it’s cross cloud (for the most part) and it works on prem. You can find people that know it easily and it’s easy to recruit career oriented people who want to know Kubernetes or who already know it.

It’s just like standardizing on React on the front end.
