Click bait title. The point of this article is that Kubernetes is indeed an orchestrator, but "so much more". However, it's mostly a bunch of random conversational pieces, like mentioning the slack channel has 90k users
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Kubernetes isn't the source of complexity - it is the problem domain of building and operating distributed systems that are fundamentally and essentially complex. Compare the complexity of Kubernetes to Openstack - the next most similar project in the same problem space, and you will find Kubernetes is actually pretty simple.
OpenStack and Kubernetes serve different purposes. Despite the article, Kubernetes at its core really is a container orchestrator. OpenStack is a collection of software you'd use for running a mini-AWS on bare metal infrastructure.
Both fundamentally are about abstracting the way in which infrastructure is managed.
Is there even a viable alternative to Kubernetes at this point? For that matter, is there an alternative to YAML for defining Kubernetes setups?
How about "Kubernetes as a complexity generator"? :-)

I think you meant OpenShift. OpenStack works with full fledge VMs not containers.
Kubernetes works with fully-fledged VM's as well - See Kubevirt

OpenStack and Kubernetes don't serve different purposes - they just solve them differently. Both fundamentally are about abstracting the way in which infrastructure is managed.
