I find containerization useful regardless and Kube allows a simple orchestration solution so I can use a single machine for many things without too much trouble. No need to worry too much about ports and log rotation and all that. Just a nice batteries-included solution. The primitives are also trivial to reason about.

And writing YAMLs sucked in the old days but now with kustomize built in you can easily do everything you want with templating. LLMs can write it all.

As an aside, please prompt your agent to be more concise. Totally unnecessary text expansion. “I didn’t do this to be clever”. Pure filler text. No one talks like this.
