The amount of complication in “modern” pipelines is insane. If you need a dozen pieces of software just to go live, you’re making things difficult.

I guess. I mostly think it’s ignorance. Relying on a specific architecture or platform, etc. is super dangerous—and costly.
The problem is all the solutions. Just make some automation that is predicable and automated. You can use automation to build the container and then run tests on it. If the tests pass you can do a gradual roll out. All of this can be simple automations that are either Ansible playbooks or bash scripts.
I think Kubernetes has its value. It can be wildly complex but it also can be reasonable and clean. For my Homelab I like k3s as it is lightweight and gets the job done. I can setup automatic rollbacks and have all the features of Kubernetes without the complexity of the commercial providers.
I'm sure there are other Kubernetes distributions that do the same.
There is very little content here.
Could have boiled it down to modern CI/CD is over complicated, I'm going to talk about it. Then why not start talking about it with point 1 rather than just saying you will.
I have no idea whether the content will be meaningful or not.
More killer, less filler next time.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
