> Does Kubernetes have its downsides? Yeah, it’s complex overkill for small deployments or monolithic applications. But to be honest, there’s a lot of complexity to configuration management on traditional VMs with a lot of bad, not-so-gracefully aging tooling (cough…Chef Software)

I have a small application running under single-node k3s. It's slightly (but not hugely) easier to work with then the prior version that I had running under IIS.
