And yet I still have to deploy my first Kubernetes setup and have used Docker multiple times ...

Is there some kind of "Kubernetes-light" out there? So something like in-between running services like NGinx and Postgres on bare Linux machines and having this (I think complex) Kubernetes setup? It's important to say that I don't need any scaling capabilities (apart from maybe some load-balancing in case of a machine error).

Thanks, that looks interesting. I hope I don't get toooo many different suggestions. ;)

> If you’re (only) a docker expert, you’re in troubles right now. There are no more jobs looking for docker expertise and you’re dangerously close to unemployable.

This is such a silly and unrealistic argument - no one is a docker-only expert. And docker is a desirable skill, just not on its own. It's like saying that git-only experts are unemployable.

easiest way is just start experimenting with GKE on google cloud, and see if it has value to you. Don't bother trying to deploy and manage it before you've kicked the tires.

Out of the box its quite good, depending on what you are doing, once you have cert-manager issuing you free certs, linkerd managing a service mesh, and stackdriver giving you an entire ops stack, its a bit hard to go back
