Agreed. Where I work we have a core team that created a framework that manages the Kubernetes configuration for us. As a backend developer I basically just have to throw a config file into my service with some basic options like which port to listen on and where the docker container is, and then it gets deployed with everything setup for me (using helm I believe).

I really hope we move more towards these opinionated tools that can handle 90% of the use cases. Most people just want to host an app on a port, and it's a pain to have to develop that pipeline at every company that wants to adopt Kubernetes.
