A naive question: why does k8s require more documentation and understanding than using EC2 + EBS, if I don't have to consider cost. To set up my infrastructure, I launch clusters for my services, I map EBS or use ephemeral storage for stateful services. I use EC2's APIs to operate my clusters, such as autoscaling and auto healing. I don't have to worry about networking except probably private IP vs public IP. I barel…

Out of the box, k8s gives you a lot of things that you’d have to build out manually for EC2 deployed apps.

If you matched k8s features 1:1, you’d end up with a massive unwieldy beast, much more complex than k8s.

Is k8s complex? Yes, of course.
