Kubernetes ate their lunch, mostly.

No. Tools like Ansible are just wrappers around ssh when you need to run a command across many servers. They don't do anything k8s does.

  • I'd say partially right.

    10 years ago people were running hundreds/thousands of VMs/Servers with full operating systems on them. They would often be long-lived and you needed puppet/ansible to update or run stuff on them.

    With kubernetes deployment and updating your app/data is all native. The servers/nodes often run some sort of cut down operating system and are immutable.
