When companies reach a certain maturity, they need platform abstractions to operate efficiently, especially as they grow.
Creating a new cluster was slow (long procedure), decommissioning was worse. Drift between them, hunting down references.
Abstraction: if it is expressed in concepts or vocabulary that does not require user to have knowledge about the underlying domain. Why use kubernetes controller instead of IaC?
- IaC is for humans
- Self-healing
- Workflow style - multiple steps
- Scheduling built-in
