I am a network engineer and I am learning it. I see it in the next step from the bare metal -> virtualisation evolution
As someone who is operating kubernetes for 2 years in my home server, using containers is much more maintainable compared to installing everything directly on the server.
I tried using docker-compose first to manage my services. It works well for 2-3 services, but as the number of services grew they started to interfere with each other, at that point I switched to kubernetes.
