Kubernetes is often expected to solve every DevOps problem.
It does not.
Kubernetes solves orchestration problems for containerized applications at scale.
What Kubernetes Solves
Scheduling
Kubernetes decides where containers should run based on available resources.
Self-healing
Failed containers are restarted automatically.
Scaling
Applications can scale horizontally based on demand.
Desired state management
Kubernetes continuously reconciles the running system with the declared configuration.
What Kubernetes Does Not Solve
Poor application architecture
Broken CI/CD pipelines
Lack of observability
Security misconfigurations
Kubernetes amplifies system behavior.
It does not correct poor foundations.
InfraForgeLabs - DevOpsMind focuses on teaching these boundaries clearly.
provides a toolkit to generate Kubernetes YAMLs and other DevOps templates, but it assumes these concepts are already understood.
